See the attached file. The "X" icon is about 50% smaller than normal on my Win2k system (not tested elsewhere) using GUI .668 and Perl 5.0.1.
use Win32::GUI;
use strict;
use warnings;
package main;
my $Window = new Win32::GUI::Window (
-name => "Window",
-topmost => 1,
-left => 300,
-dialogui => 1,
-top => 400,
-width => 258,
-height => 280, #235,
-maxsize => [258,280],#[258,235],
-minsize => [258,280],#[258,235],
-text => "No Tool Window",
-maximizebox => 0,
-minimizebox =>1,
-helpbutton => 0,
-resizable =>0,
);
my $Window2 = new Win32::GUI::Window (
-name => "Window2",
-topmost => 1,
-toolwindow => 1
-left => 600,
-dialogui => 1,
-top => 400,
-width => 258,
-height => 280, #235,
-maxsize => [258,280],#[258,235],
-minsize => [258,280],#[258,235],
-text => "With the ToolWindow",
-maximizebox => 0,
-minimizebox =>1,
-helpbutton => 0,
-resizable =>0,
);
sub Window_Terminate
{
return -1;
}
sub Window2_Terminate
{
return -1;
}
$Window2->Enable();
$Window2->Show();
$Window->Enable();
$Window->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
Note that as of yet, I have not played with the various settings for
-minimizebox, etc. It does look kind of cool with the small button, but I
would just like to know why....
