Re: [win32gui] [perl-win32-gui-users] Thinner width

[<Jos...@co...>]

Rob,

I didn't really have any code yet, I was first trying to make the window
the right size and it didn't work.  Your answer worked, adding '
-pushexstyle => WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW' got the window to the right size that I
wanted.

Thank you,
Joe

Joe,

A quick sample (minimum complete working code) showing what you've
tried, and what doesn't work for you  would be really helpful with
knowing where to start.

Dave posted a really good link to why this is a good idea yesterday:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

If I'm guessing right (and I'm only guessing), then try this:

#!perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::GUI(qw(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW));

my $mw = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
             -title => "Thin Window",
             -pos => [100,100],
             -size => [100,100],
             -pushexstyle => WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,
);

$mw->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
exit(0);
__END__

So long as you can put up with the smaller font in the titlebar, and no
minimise/maximise buttons.

Rob.
