Remove: Minimize, Restore Down, Maximize and Close

[edena]

Hi!

I'm trying to remove these buttons from the Autoit GUI Form: minimize, restore down, maximize and close. The three buttons we usually see from the top right hand corner of every window.

and

Is there a way that I can put the Title at the center because it usually appears at the top left hand side?

Is it possible to do this with Autoit Koda? Or is there another way?

I've tried searching for this in the forums and Koda but cannot find one.

Thank You.

Look at GUICreate() & $WS_POPUP in the Help file.

Maybe this will help?

Water,

Thank you very much

I think this is what I'm looking for:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
GUICreate("GUI With Only Close", 250, 250, -1, -1, BitXOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Sleep(10)
    If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

And thanks for the tip Guinness,

But Is there a way that I can put the Title text at the center of the GUI because it usually appears at the top left hand side?

Try this.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Local $iGuiWidth = 500 ; initial width of window
Local $sTitle = "Window Title" ; caption for window

;$hGui = GUICreate($sTitle, $iGuiWidth, 400, -1, -1, BitxOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX)) ; Exit box & Centre title
Local $hGui = GUICreate($sTitle, $iGuiWidth, 400, -1, -1, $WS_CAPTION) ; Centre title only (Press Esc to exit)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW); will display an empty dialog box
SetCentreTitle($hGui, $sTitle)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd
;GUIDelete()

Func SetCentreTitle($hWnd, $sTitle)
    Local $aWPos = WinGetPos($hWnd)
    $hDC = _WinAPI_GetDC($hWnd)
    Do
        $sTitle = ' ' & $sTitle & " "
        $tSize = _WinAPI_GetTextExtentPoint32($hDC, $sTitle)
        WinSetTitle($hWnd, "", $sTitle)
        ;sleep(50)
        ; Until DllStructGetData($tSize, 1) > $aWPos[2]*2 ; 1.2  ; Title on right
    Until DllStructGetData($tSize, 1) > $aWPos[2] * 1.2 ; Title at centre
EndFunc   ;==>SetCentreTitle

Edit: Added <GUIConstantsEx.au3>, <WinAPI.au3>, and <WindowsConstants.au3> behind the three blank #includes, as mentioned in the next 2 posts.

Hi Malkey,

Please about the #include,

I only know this one " #include <WindowsConstants.au3> " and this " #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> " but the other one "#include" I don't know that is why it is giving me errors.

Please show me

Thank You

Use this...

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

A quick search of the help file and using the errors returned would've saved you time posting that message, Edited November 7, 2011 by guinness
