I tried changing the style using SetWindowLong, but I got undesired results.
And then when I went to intercept the WM_NCPAINT message my program would
just crash here's what I was using:
case WM_NCPAINT:
{
hdc = GetDCEx(hwnd, (HRGN)wparam, DCX_WINDOW | DCX_INTERSECTRGN);
GetBoundsRect(hdc, &rect, 0);
DrawFrameControl(hdc, &rect, DFC_CAPTION, DFCS_CAPTIONMIN);
ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc);
return 0;
}
All this should do is draw a giant minimize button, but it doesn't just even
do that. It just crashes then I tried to get rid of the control drawing
code and then it won't paint correctly. So I'm basically stuck on this one.
And one more question how would I keep the user from resizing my window?
Without changing my current style? Thanks again.
