I have a simple window that I want to be able to move it partially off the screen. Here is the problem: I am able to move this window successfully off the left of the screen, bottom of the screen, and the right of the screen. However, when I try moving it partially off the top of the screen, it won't stay. It will pop back down. I know it's possible to do because I have seen some other applications do this...
Here is the code to my window. This is just the bare-boned window without title bar and you're able to move it by dragging on its client area
Code:#include <windows.h> /* Declare Windows procedure */ LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM); /* Make the class name into a global variable */ wchar_t szClassName[ ] = L"WindowsApp"; int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpszArgument, int nFunsterStil) { HWND hwnd; /* This is the handle for our window */ MSG messages; /* Here messages to the application are saved */ ZeroMemory(&messages, sizeof(MSG)); WNDCLASSEX wincl; /* Data structure for the windowclass */ /* The Window structure */ wincl.hInstance = hThisInstance; wincl.lpszClassName = szClassName; wincl.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure; /* This function is called by windows */ wincl.style = CS_DBLCLKS; /* Catch double-clicks */ wincl.cbSize = sizeof (WNDCLASSEX); wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); /* Use default icon and mouse-pointer */ wincl.hIconSm = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); wincl.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW); wincl.lpszMenuName = NULL; /* No menu */ wincl.cbClsExtra = 0; /* No extra bytes after the window class */ wincl.cbWndExtra = 0; /* structure or the window instance */ wincl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_BACKGROUND; /* Use Windows's default color as the background*/ /* Register the window class, and if it fails quit the program */ if (!RegisterClassEx (&wincl)) return 0; /* The class is registered */ /* WS_EX_TOPMOST - always on top | WS_EX_NOACTIVATE - Prevent mouse input from activating the window*/ /* WS_POPUPWINDOW - no title bar | WS_SIZEBOX - resizable */ hwnd = CreateWindowEx (WS_EX_TOPMOST | WS_EX_NOACTIVATE, szClassName, L"App", WS_POPUPWINDOW | WS_SIZEBOX, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 120, NULL, NULL, hThisInstance, NULL); /* Make the window visible on the screen */ ShowWindow (hwnd, nFunsterStil); while(messages.message != WM_QUIT) { // IF there is a Windows message then process it. if(PeekMessage(&messages, 0, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) { TranslateMessage(&messages); DispatchMessage(&messages); } // ELSE, do other stuff. else { //SetWindowPos(hwnd, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW | SWP_NOACTIVATE); } } /* The program return-value is 0 - The value that PostQuitMessage() gave */ return messages.wParam; } /* This function is called by the Windows function DispatchMessage() */ LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch (message) /* handle the messages */ { case WM_DESTROY: case WM_RBUTTONUP: PostQuitMessage (0); /* send a WM_QUIT to the message queue */ break; case WM_MOVING: /* fix for a bug in windows that prevents contents of the windows from being displayed */ case WM_SIZING: { RECT *prc = (RECT *)lParam; SetWindowPos(hwnd, NULL, prc->left, prc->top, prc->right - prc->left, prc->bottom - prc->top, 0); } break; case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MOVE | 0x0002, 0); break; default: /* for messages that we don't deal with */ return DefWindowProc (hwnd, message, wParam, lParam); } return 0; }
