Windows

[Neandrake]

I've been creating windows in c++(much fun), however, I haven't been able to customize it very well. How can I make the window not resizable? Only having a minimize and close buttons in the title bar? Much thanks for any help

I wanted to do this before, and I found out how. Whereyou created the main window, do this:



hwnd=CreateWindowEx(
0,
szClassName,
"Title",
WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_MINIMIZEBUTTON,
CW_USEDEFAULT | CW_USEDEFAULT,
544,
375,
HWND_DESKTOP,
NULL,
hThisInstance,
NULL
);

I just tried that code you provided SyntaxBubble and I got errors saying that there were "a wrong number" of auguments in the CreateWindow and it says that WS_MINIMIZEBOX is un-declared"
am I doing something wrong or is it a problem with your code?

Thanks, I ended up finding that out before I read your post. Now I need some help with the API function TextOut. I'm trying to make a function(s) to draw text on the window(also more to remove the text and get the text). I can't get TextOut to work right. Here's the code for my function:

struct Label {
	long XPos;
	long YPos;
	char Caption[255];
	long TxtLength;
	HDC hDC;
};

void CreateLabel(long XPos,long YPos,char Caption[255],HDC hDC,RECT aRect) {
		strcpy(lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].Caption,Caption);
		lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].TxtLength=sizeof(Caption);
		lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].XPos=XPos;
		lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].YPos=YPos;
		lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].hDC=hDC;
		
		SetBkMode(lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].hDC, TRANSPARENT);
		BeginPath(lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].hDC);
		TextOut(hDC,aRect.top,aRect.left,"sweet",5);
		//TextOut(lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].hDC,lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].XPos,lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].YPos,(char *)lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].Caption,lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].TxtLength);
		EndPath(lTextLabel[TextLabelCount].hDC);
		TextLabelCount++;
}

It isn't printing anything to the board when I use:

CreateLabel(50,50,"mytext",hDC,aRect);

I've already checked out MSDN but It doesn't help too much. Anyone have experience with this function?
