Rob, I didn't really have any code yet, I was first trying to make the window the right size and it didn't work. Your answer worked, adding ' -pushexstyle => WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW' got the window to the right size that I wanted.
Thank you, Joe Joseph Vieira CIO IT Support FUJITSU CONSULTING Phone: (732) 549-4100 ext (8657) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Robert May <[EMAIL PROTECTED] lara.co.uk> To Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] perl-win32-gui-us m [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc ourceforge.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] rge.net Subject 07/26/2005 04:27 Re: [win32gui] PM [perl-win32-gui-users] Thinner width Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ara.co.uk Joe, A quick sample (minimum complete working code) showing what you've tried, and what doesn't work for you would be really helpful with knowing where to start. Dave posted a really good link to why this is a good idea yesterday: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html If I'm guessing right (and I'm only guessing), then try this: #!perl -w use strict; use warnings; use Win32::GUI(qw(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)); my $mw = Win32::GUI::Window->new( -title => "Thin Window", -pos => [100,100], -size => [100,100], -pushexstyle => WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, ); $mw->Show(); Win32::GUI::Dialog(); exit(0); __END__ So long as you can put up with the smaller font in the titlebar, and no minimise/maximise buttons.
