Yes I guess its a bit vauge. I guess I was not sure what I was trying to find out.....ANYWAY...I now know what I am wanting to do...after a bit of time on the net.
What I want to do is find the NonClient area Params "NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS" of a form OTHER then the one the code is running from. What the problem is, if you run XP, you can tell an application to not use the Themes, i.e. it looks like an old style window. If you do this, it changes the NCParams of the window. For instance, in this case, the size of the buttons on the top right of the form , i.e. close, min and max, are 16 pixels. IF the form uses XP themes, the size of the buttins is now 25 ! What I need to do, is get the NCParams info for the forground window where I have other stuff happening. Is this a bit clearer ?? I hope so... :-) Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: "Andreas Toth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Multiple recipients of list delphi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 11:16:18 +1300 Subject: RE: [DUG]: Detecting Theme > Sorry, could you please explain what the problem is a bit clearer > because I > can't see how running XP-style-aware applications with > non-XP-style-aware > application could be a problem other than a visual nuisance.
