Hi all !
I want set styles for window as WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE. I found this style in Borland\BCC55\Include\winuser.h
How I can use this file in my programm

Natter,

You may use the clause STYLE:

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd STYLE nOr( WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE )

Better do it this way, as it is an extended style:

#define GWL_EXSTYLE (-20)

SetWindowLong( oWnd:hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE )

or

SetWindowLong( oWnd:hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, nOr( GetWindowLong( oWnd:hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE ), WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE ) )

to keep the previous extended style too

Thank, Antonio ! I do it. But I get error

"Variable WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE not found"

I must insert #INCLUDE *.ch to my program for description this WS_EX_
variables, but I found this in Winuser.h only

You have found the proper solution. This manifest constant is a Windows API value.

All right. How I can compiling Winuser.h together my programm.

Put this at the top of your PRG.

#include "winuser.h"

#include "winuser.h" - it's not work. Created file My.h with WS_EX_ variables. That is work !

Thank all !

Natter,

>#include "winuser.h" - it's not work.

This was probably because your PATH needed to be SET so the compiler could find it. Or, you could copy winuser.h to the application source directory.

PATH is right
Well, I copy winuser.h to the application source directory

set #include "winuser.h" to my programm and compiled

see file Clip.log

winuser.h(11) Error E0024 Error in #pragma
winuser.h(38) Error F0028 Can't open #include file: 'stdarg.h'

and etc.

Natter,

OK, it seems like it also wants another file.

Try this instead. Instead of putting #include "winuser.h" do this:

#define WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE 512

That should solve it.
