I have noticed that some people reference some page at Micro$oft that lists some possible window attributes.

I don't remember from where I downloaded the Win32 API help file I use, but try the "Win32 API Reference" from this page:

http://www.winprog.org/resources.html

There might be newer versions. Another URL anyone?

On MSDN, these URLs are probably most useful:
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/psdk/buildapp/win32api_7f8p.htm>

<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/psdk/psdkref/catfunc_26m1.htm>


You also need the files WINUSER.H, and COMMCTRL.H to expand all C #DEFINEd symbols you see in the docs (good idea: always document which symbol you used when you insert a numeric in your code!).

I have access to the .H files through Visual Studio. I don't know the copyright status of header files, otherwise I could have just posted it on a web page. But I guess it's a bad idea, and I really don't know where to find them otherwise :(


If this does not exist how do some of you know what attributes to try and send to control say whether or not a maximize button appears. Is this just really good divine intervention?

Curiosity, persistence and a _lot_ of browsing the help files. Occasional "Wow, that would be cool!" moments help a little as well :)
