WinCreateFrameControls

This function creates the standard frame controls for a specified window.

Syntax

WinCreateFrameControls(hwndFrame, pfcdata, pszTitle)

Parameters

hwndFrame (HWND) - input

Frame-window handle.

Becomes the parent and owner window of all the frame controls that are created:

HWND_DESKTOP - The desktop window

HWND_OBJECT - Object window

Other - Specified window.

pfcdata (PFRAMECDATA) - input

Frame-control data.

This includes a combination of frame creation flags (FCF_*), that specifies which frame controls are to be created. For further information, see

pszTitle (PSZ) - input

Title string.

This parameter contains a string that is displayed in the WC_TITLEBAR control only when FCF_TITLEBAR is specified in pfcdata.

Returns

rc (BOOL) - returns

Success indicator.

TRUE - Successful completion

FALSE - Error occurred.

Errors

Possible returns from WinGetLastError:

PMERR_INVALID_HWND (0x1001)

An invalid window handle was specified.

PMERR_INVALID_FLAG (0x1019)

An invalid bit was set for a parameter. Use constants defined by PM for options, and do not set any reserved bits.

Remarks

This function is typically used when the standard frame controls are needed for use with a nonstandard window (such as a non WC_FRAME class).

All of the controls are created with the standard FID_* window identifiers; see

The controls are created but not formatted. Formatting must be done by setting the required positions. All controls are created with position and size set to zero and WS_VISIBLE is not set.

Example Code

This example creates frame controls (title bar, system menu, size border, and min/max buttons) for a button window created by WinCreateWindow. The new controls are owned by and children of the button window.
