Frame Creation Flags

These frame creation flags are available:

FCF_TITLEBAR

Title bar.
FCF_SYSMENU
System menu.
FCF_MENU
Application menu.
FCF_MINMAX
Minimize and Maximize buttons.
FCF_MINBUTTON
Minimize button.
FCF_MAXBUTTON
Maximize button.
FCF_VERTSCROLL
Vertical scroll bar.
FCF_HORZSCROLL
Horizontal scroll bar.
FCF_SIZEBORDER
Sizing border.
FCF_BORDER
Window is drawn with a thin border.
FCF_DLGBORDER
Window is drawn with a standard dialog border.
FCF_ACCELTABLE
Causes an accelerator table to be loaded, for this frame window, from the resource file identified on the WinCreateStdWindow function.
FCF_ICON
Window is created with an icon associated with it that is used to represent the window when it is minimized.

If present, the parameter of the WinCreateStdWindow function must be the identity of an icon. This icon is loaded and associated with the window. When the window is minimized, the icon is shown if the screen is capable of showing it. When the window is destroyed, the icon is also destroyed.

FCF_SHELLPOSITION
The window is created with a size and position determined by the shell, rather than explicitly by the application.
FCF_SYSMODAL
The frame window is System Modal.
FCF_NOBYTEALIGN
When this flag is not set, the frame window is adjusted so that window operations, such as moving, can be performed in an optimized manner. For example, some displays can move a window more quickly if the movement is by a multiple of eight pels.

If this flag is set, such optimizations are not performed and size and position values are honored.

FCF_TASKLIST
When this flag is set, the program title is added to the front of the frame window text, the resulting string is used as the window title and is also entered on the task list.

In this context, the program title is the text string used by the Desktop Manager to identify the program, or the text string specified as a parameter in the START command. If neither string has been defined, the filename and extension of the .EXE file are used as the program title.

Note that a WinSetWindowText will not change the entry in the switch list, a WinChangeSwitchEntry must be done to affect this.

FCF_NOMOVEWITHOWNER
The window should not be moved when its owner is moved.
FCF_STANDARD
Same as (FCF_TITLEBAR | FCF_SYSMENU | FCF_MINBUTTON | FCF_MAXBUTTON | FCF_SIZEBORDER | FCF_ICON | FCF_MENU | FCF_ACCELTABLE | FCF_SHELLPOSITION | FCF_TASKLIST).

This value is assumed if any Frame Window is created with no Control Data.

FCF_SCREENALIGN
See FS_SCREENALIGN.
FCF_MOUSEALIGN
See FS_MOUSEALIGN.
FCF_AUTOICON
Performance optimization. When repainting iconized frames, the system will redraw the icon and will not send a WM_PAINT message to the application.
FCF_HIDEBUTTON
Hide button.
FCF_HIDEMAX
Hide and maximize buttons.
