Hi, all !

There are several modeless Windows on the screen. Is it possible to make a frame (shadow) appear around the window when the window receives focus, and when the focus is lost, this shadow disappears ?

Working on a nice sample with different border-styles

The solution You are looking for

A main-window
3 child-windows
The first one got the focus



regards
Uwe

What an example to look at ?

It means the child-windows with titles and systembuttons

I can show / use a normal window with border and draw a colored shadow around on focus ( a little bit different )
Is that what You want

Yes, but can do/remove the border via SetWindowLong() ?

I found a information to change the window-style

//* New: New function __ChangeStyleWindow( hWnd, nStyle, nStyleType, lAdd ) in etc.prg, provided by:
//Hernan Diego Ceccarelli! It allows to change the style of a window, dialog or control in runtime.

maybe a solution for a visible border-change on focus and lostfocus
