Create Window with fixed position

[maldini1010]

Hello,

I would like to create a window which cannot be moved by the user. (By cliking and holding the top of the window).


CREATESTRUCT cs
Maximaze/Minimaze/Close button.
cs.lpszName = "My Window";
cs.style = WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_HSCROLL ;

Does anyone know how to do this.
Thanks
maldini

One way is to override the onmove function.

Hi,
In order to override the onmove function. I wrote a function afx_msg void onMove(int, int ); which basically does nothing in my class --> class CMainFrame : public CFrameWnd


Is that what you mean cause it does not seem to work.

Thanks

This might help? I just want my app to create a window fullscreen which it would be imposible to (move with a mouse, resize with a mouse or close with a mouse, even by double cliking on the bar where the caption of the window is written ). Baically, only the keyboard should be able to perform these actions.

I hope you can help
Thanks

Hi,

I have actually found a solution, Not a so nice one, but a it works, What I did is i removed the caption bar at the top. Therefore through a mouse no action can be takin on the window. I used the following.


DWORD dwStyle = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);
dwStyle &= ~( WS_CAPTION );
SetWindowLong(hWnd , GWL_STYLE, dwStyle );

hWndMain->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);

It works fine, however NO CAPTION

To keep the title bar for the window, override WM_SYSCOMMAND in MFC and change it like this:

void CMainFrame::OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam)
{
	// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default

	if((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_MOVE)
	{
		//Prevent any moving of window
		return;
	}

	if((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_MINIMIZE)
	{
		//Prevent minimizing
		return;
	}

	if((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_MAXIMIZE)
	{
		//Prevent maximizing
		return;
	}

	if((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_SIZE)
	{
		//Prevent sizing
		return;
	}

	if((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_CLOSE)
	{
		//Prevent closing
		return;
	}

	//For other nID values see WM_SYSCOMMAND

	CFrameWnd::OnSysCommand(nID, lParam);
}

Remove those "if" blocks that you won't need.
