I've got a few resizable dialogs in my application. Right now, an ugly
little rectagular icon shows up in the top-left corner. I would like to
remove the icon (is there some setting in the dialog editor that I
missed?!?) The following image demonstrates the problem. 1) the top part of the image is a dialog from the sample: Xtreme Toolkit Pro v9.60\Samples\Controls\CheckListBox 2) the bottom part of the image is the behaviour I would like (i.e. no icon in the top left corner). It is taken from: http://www.codejock.com/products/toolkit/tour_25.asp - http://www.codejock.com/products/toolkit/tour_25.asp but I wasn't able to find this behaviour in any samples. Thanks for any help Warren

1. All sizable frames have this icon. In Dialog editor instead border - Rezing, set Border - Dialog Frame. No icon, but no resize availaible. So better change this icon to something: SetIcon(LoadIcon.., FLASE); 2. Try to derive new class from CXTPCustomizeSheet and CXTResize.

My initial thoughts for a solution were along the lines of your reply,
but I'm still wondering how the screen shot on the following page was
created: http://www.codejock.com/products/toolkit/tour_25.asp - http://www.codejock.com/products/toolkit/tour_25.asp the icon is not present in the customize dialog. Was this done in code, or was the icon removed by re-touching the image after the image was captured (I'd rather have an honest answer here if the image was altered - I'll admit to "re-touching" some screen shots in a previous job). |

i just set the properties in the dialog editor to "resizing" instead of dialog frame then make sure to uncheck "system menu" |

Unfortunately, that gets rid of the icon in the top left, but it also gets rid of the Big red X in the top-right corner - which I don't want to get rid of. I'd like all the dialogs to look the same (standard non-resizable dialogs have no icon, but the big X in the top-right). Warren |

I think you will find that the following combination of dialog styles do what you want. DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_FIXEDSYS | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_THICKFRAME I usually find it easier to set these by editing the resource file as text. /Anders |

Anders, Yes, that combination of styles does the trick (it seems I was missing the DS_MODALFRAME style). However, I've still got a little problem. Do you know how to apply the style in code? since: 1) When I added it to the resource file as text, the setting gets blown away if I make adjustments to any of the properties in the resource editor (it seems like DS_MODALFRAME and WS_THICKFRAME are mutually excusive in "border" property in the Visual Studio editor ?!?). 2) I tried using WS_THICKFRAME in the dialog editor, and inserting a call to ModifyStyle(0, DS_MODALFRAME), in a number of the CWnd/CDialog virtual functions - but the result was that it either didn't remove the icon, or the resizing didn't work.
