POP_UP windows
Post by Ric on Feb 27^th, 2018, 9:24pm

In the example program MULTIDEM.BBC the main window opens with four pop_up windows. I can not see a way of closing them. Is it possible to change the style so they have minimise, maximaise and close buttons?

Regards Ric

Hi Ric,

You can close them with the PROC_closewin(n%), as long as it isn't the currently selected window.

To change the window style you'd need to alter the values of the windows style and/or the extended windows style, which are the parameters s% and e%. However, it's possible that the buttons you want aren't allowed for pop-up windows? It looks like adding &30000 to the window style should add WS_MINIMIZEBOX and WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, though it doesn't seem to, and I can't see a code for "close window box".

As usual, if you want to know stuff like that, Richard is probably your best port of call if MSDN doesn't help enough...

Best wishes,

D
