Hi all,

I'm trying to make a mainwindow which has no borders and no caption. I can't
reset the stylebits for a framewindow and a normal CWnd as a mainwindow does
not work (runtime error)

How is this done. Code is welcome!

If you don't require use of the doc/view architecture, why not just make
your main frame window based on CDialog ?  Judging by your attempt to use
CWnd, I gather it doesn't.

If you make your app dialog-based,  you can simply remove the caption and
border styles from the dialog resource,
call yourDialog.DoModal() from InitInstance(), et voila... all this work
(with the exception of removing the Caption style)
will be done for you if you use the "Dialog-based App" option in AppWizard.

If your app can't be dialog-based, have you tried removing the caption style
from within CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow() ?

Hi,

I also tried to change the style of a window generated by the AppWizard
uswing the OnPreCreate functions etc., but they don't work.  You might try
the function CWnd::ModifyStyle and Cwnd::ModifyStyleEx in the constructor
or in the OnCreate.  Modifying CREATSTRUCT cs does not work.

Let me know if it works ok!!
