Sticky Form

[halsten]

Hello,

Apparently the form I created in PellesC had became sticky so I can not move it around. Any ideas why that would happen?

Do you mean a Dialog Box that is your apps window can't be moved? Try to be more concise.

Yes, the Dialog Box became sticky and on top most as well. And I didn't write such code for those functions.

Here's the sample.

If I comment out this, it is not sticky. You should be able to investigate and find the reason.

Code Select Expand


/*
case WM_SYSCOMMAND:
if (wParam == SC_MINIMIZE) {
MinimizeWndToTray(hwndDlg);
ShowNotifyIcon(g_hInstance, hwndDlg, TRUE);
SetWindowLong(hwndDlg, DWL_MSGRESULT, 0);
return TRUE;
}
return TRUE;
*/

Okay, but if you comment those lines the form will still be TOP MOST. Any idea why that happens?

It is a system modal dialog, which is usually used for notifications that must be placed above all other windows.

If this is the main window of your application, remove the modal style too, since this only makes sense for support windows of an application window.

You may wish to take a look at the window styles at MSDN, they are found in the descriptions of CreateWindow and CreateWindowEx, be sure to check the win32 descriptions.

Okay, thanks a lot for your help.
