%ws_sysmenu

[Brian Heibert]

I just got PB/9.0
however PowerBASIC, Inc. told me that I can continue to use PB Forms 1.5.1

I am having a problem with one thing in PB/Forms
I want a System Menu in my window

and I selected %WS_SYSMENU and it still doesn't show up

when I test the dialog in PB/Forms

the system menu doesn't show up

It will depend upon what other styles you have selected. Let's not try to do all the combinations!

If you look at the defaults, you will have something like

WS_BORDER
WS_DLGFRAME
WS_MODALFRAME

You could try restoring to these styles. Otherwise, what styles are you using?

BTW, it's always best to show code to illustrate your point. Compileable code is best.

Dialog 1 is what my window looks like
Dialog 2 has the icon that I want to appear in dialog 1
Dialog 2 is the window editor in PB/forms
Dialog 1 is my actual window when the program runs.

Dialog 1:


Dialog 2:

PS: I just realized Dialog 2 says Dialog 1 in the title, so I fixed this
post so you can see what is Dialog 2 by the Dialog 2:

As well as adding %WS_SYSMENU style you need to..

1. Remove the %DS_MODALFRAME style. - This causes PBForms to add a default (%IDI_APPLICATION) icon to the dialog's title bar.

or
2. Add this line in the ShowDialog function:

[COLOR=silver]#PBForms End Dialog[/COLOR] 
Dialog Send hDlg, %WM_SETICON, %ICON_SMALL, LoadIcon(%NULL, ByVal %IDI_APPLICATION)

or
3. Add your own Icon via Dialog Properties / General / (Click the [...] button to browse.)
