Win Mob 2003 dialogs always maximised...

[Daniel Bass]

I'm trying to display a progress bar, on a little modal dialog.

After creating a little dialog, I call it with Show() and update it with new
progress bar values.

the problem is it always appears maximised... I changed the dialog location
and size, with the windows state to normal, but it's still maximised. I've
also tried changing the border style sizeable and it's the same result.

This should be an easy thing to do? Surely?

Thanks!

Dan.

If you change the FormBorderStyle to None you are able to show a
non-fullscreen dialog but you will not have a form border or titlebar.

That'll do nicely,

Thanks. =o)

Cheers! I'll check that out.

You can play with thr form properties to change that behaviour (Border to

Non, ControlBox to false...) but you'll get a popup without title bar and no
way to move it with the stylus.

you'll find a class to implement floating window, the article is in French

but I think you can easily understand the code.
