Ken,
Instead of using -pushstyle, you need to use -popstyle. As for the constants
needed, you will need to use WS_CAPTION to remove the title bar and
WS_THICKFRAME to remove the window's sizing border. Here is an example:
$splash = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-name => 'splash',
-size => [200,200],
-popstyle => WS_CAPTION | WS_THICKFRAME,
);
__END__
There are a number of other window constants that can be used when creating a
splash window. If you have the Windows SDK, you can check the documentation for
a full list.
Hope this helps,
Kevin.

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Borderless Main Window
Hello,
Let me preface my question by saying that I haven’t used Win32::GUI very much,
so I might be missing something obvious.
I want to create a borderless window (splash screen) and have done so using the
–style option when creating the new window.
Unfortunately, this option is deprecated, and I get a message informing me of
that fact whenever I run the application.
Looking at the documentation, it appeared that I could use the –pushstyle of
–addstyle option when creating the window. However, the window has a border
when either of these options is used.
Can anyone point out the error of my ways? Actual code is below.
Thanks, Ken Slater
