Re: [lazarus] Some questions about TForm.Height

If it's not posible to calculate a title bar*s height in GNU/Linux, due to the different windows managers, why don't CREATE YOUR OWN TITLE BAR WITH YOUR OWN HEIGHT ? What about creating a window *without* a title bar first, then adding a title bar to it and interpret the height difference

Hi, friends! For Win32 I can use GetSystemMetrics in this case. So in Windows it works. But in Linux (Gnome/GTK) GetSystemMetrics is seems to be not realized jet - this function presents, code can be compiled, but GetSystemMetrics returns some strange and illegal values. So code, that is

Re: [lazarus] Some questions about TForm.Height

Dear Friends! Ones more I ask you for some help. Help me please to understand how can I get real height of any form window created by Lazarus? The matter is trhat TForm.Height returns not a total Form height, but Form height minus title bar height. Actually, in Lazarus TForm.Height is equal

Re: [lazarus] Some questions about TForm.Height
