In this Program the Create Api Call
to create the window takes the third parameter that is window style as WS_POPUP,
which is responsible for creating the window without any title bar.
Since there is no title bar there
won't be any close button, so in order to exit the application I used
PostQuitMessage Api call in OnRButtonDown event of the window, which posts the
WM_QUITMESSAGE to the Message queue so that when ever user presses right button
on the window the application will exit. Generally we see some funny games
without any title bar where this code can be used.
An Win 32 Application , Source Code is as follows...........
Source.cpp
//Creating a Window
without any Title Bar such that it just appears as your desktop
#include <afxwin.h>
class CMyFrame : public
CFrameWnd
{
public:
CMyFrame()
{
//Call to create a Window without any titlebar
Create(NULL,"",WS_POPUP);
}
void OnRButtonDown()
{
PostQuitMessage(1);
}
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyFrame,CFrameWnd)
ON_WM_RBUTTONDOWN()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
class CMyApp :public CWinApp
{
CMyFrame *frameWndObj;
public:
BOOL InitInstance()
{
frameWndObj = new CMyFrame();
m_pMainWnd = frameWndObj;
//shows the window with maximum size.
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(3);
return 1;
}
};
CMyApp anApp;
