removing the Main Frame title bar in a SDI

[kdehairy]

Does any body knows how to remove the title bar and the menu from the main frame window in an SDI application with MFC ??? k_dehairy

I think that requires removal of the WS_CAPTION and WS_SYSMENU styles. However, I think there is more to it than this, but I've not tried.

As luck would have it, I'm working on an application that does exactly that. Happy to share... All code is in the CFrameWnd derived class. to remove the menu and title bar: // remove and destroy the old menu SetMenu(NULL); ::DestroyMenu(m_hMenuDefault); m_hMenuDefault = NULL; // remove the title bar ModifyStyle(WS_CAPTION, 0); to put them back: // restore the title bar ModifyStyle(0, WS_CAPTION); // recreate the menu CMenu menu; menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MAINFRAME); SetMenu(&menu); m_hMenuDefault = menu.GetSafeHmenu();

I guess I am lucky !! .. thanks very much but.. I put the code in the OnCreate() in the CFrameWnd derived class. It worked with the menu. For the title bar it became not functioning but still here, visible. Why is that? and again thank you --------------------------------- I just tried this now It worked when I made a call to SetWindowPos() but Why is that? k_dehairy
