Resizing with no-title dialog.

[Phiru]

I am making a dialog without title.
And I am trying resizing it.
The first time i was doing it, i set the property of border with thin.
But it didn't work.
So i changed it with Resizing option, and it works but
I don't want to see the border.

here's my question.
1. Can i resize a dialog without both caption and border(thin or none)?

2. Can I make transparent border??

Thanks.

I'm not sure about 2. It's prob possible if you override the right non-client area messages (WM_NCPAINT, etc), but I have never used that approach. But I have coded borderless, resizable windows.

If your window has no border or caption, it's up to you to handle the relevant mouse messages and do the window resizing yourself. WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_LBUTTONUP, WM_MOUSEMOVE, ... with MoveWindow() or SetWindowPos().

PS This CodeProject.com article shows how to do it using MFC. You should be able to translate (transcode?) the approach into regular Win32 easily enough.
