Hello everybody.

I'd like to make a fixed-size window (640x480, or 800x600, etc.) but it looks like in Windowed Mode you can still change the size of the window... From the commands list it's not obvious how to make it fixed, but then again a lot of things aren't obvious to me these days.

Is there a way to do this in DBPro?

I've never wanted to do this myself so I wouldn't know, however perhaps it is possible to have somewhere in your main loop a check for the window dimensions (and depth if you would like) and if they change just set them back.



I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

What you could do is create a DLL that you pass the HWND handle to. Then, using various API calls, you can then force the window to a given size. The only problem is that it will have to be called every loop.

Alternatively, you can create an EXE, and get it to be sub-classed from the DBPro program. You would then have access to the message pump, and thus you can then change the window size in the WM_SIZE message.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

You can use the SET WINDOW LAYOUT command to remove the icons from your title bar - this also seems to remove the ability to resize the window with the mouse.

SET WINDOW LAYOUT 0, 1, 0

There seems to be a bug with this command though - I couldn't get it to restore the icons.

I also encounter that "no title bar" bug IanM, when creating a window with a height of 480 pixels.

It works with less height though:
