Hi,

I have come to a problem where I need to place a pane inside some top-level window which has no borders or title bars. To implement this, I could:

1. Create a CDialog object that holds the panes. But this seems unfeasible because panes might only be contained in frame windows.

2. Create a frame window with no title bars or borders. I also failed to do so because when I modify the styles, the frame window cannot display itself even if I manually let it repaint.

Please help me on this incident and propose your ways to implement this requirement. Thanks.

2. It must work. Are sure you don't forget WS_VISIBLE style?

Yes. Method 2 works.

We need to set the window style to WS_OVERLAPPED instead of WS_POPUP.

And, it seems setting WS_OVERLAPPED will imply some other styles such as WS_CAPTION during the call to CreateWindow, so I have to use SetWindowLong to manually remove the unwanted styles after window creation.

Thanks.
