Borderless Window - AllowsTransparency

Targets Windows
1

With the header “Borderless Window” there have been conversations. But - as far as I see - the solution was always a window with WindowStyle = “None” but with a border ( a Plain Box as frame).

In Windows WPF-Programming I can additionally set AllowsTransparency=“True” and have a real borderless window, only a rectangle with the backgoundcolor (like a canvas ).

Is there a possibility to do it in Xojo?

Try 4 or 5

Try setting the style to WS_POPUP

e.g. put this in the Window.Open event:

Sub Open()
  Declare Function SetWindowLongW Lib "User32" (HWND As Integer, Index As Integer, NewLong As Integer) As Integer
  Const GWL_STYLE = -16
  Const WS_POPUP = &h80000000
  Call SetWindowLongW(Me.Handle, GWL_STYLE, WS_POPUP)
End Sub

Thanks for the answers. I will try tomorrow and write what happened.
