JB> How do I create a window whose frame does not include a client
JB> area (ie, just a titlebar and menu)?

PF> Don't call WinCreateStdWindow() -- call WinCreateWindow() 
PF> with a class of WC_FRAME.

I get unusual results from this.  When I call WinCreateWindow(),
it gives me what I'm after except that the titlebar and menu do
not appear until after I resize the border.  I can use the menu
keys to get the submenus to display while the menu is not
displayed.

I've tried WinShowWindow() and WinSetWindowPos() to cause these
controls to display, but haven't had any success.  Any clues as to
what Frame Control flags, API functions to call, etc, to have this
come up correctly w/out having to resize it?



JB> Barring that, how do I find the height of a titlebar and menu?

PF> WinQuerySysValue(HWND_DESKTOP, SV_CYTITLEBAR);
PF> WinQuerySysValue(HWND_DESKTOP, SV_CYMENU);

This looks like its giving me the height I need.  Should I also
query for the frame thickness and add these values in setting the
window height?


Thanks in advance.
