I never could figure out how to individually make windows desktop windows like queries or channels with a command, /window -d #chan doesn't work and I've asked before and most people just state alt+o > Display > Options > click on "windows..." button or right click a window and click the Desktop option in the treebar/switchbar. Either way, i wrote a very simple dll to access the win32 API called SetParent which allowed me to use $window(whatever).hwnd and send it to $window(-1).hwnd and boom, its a desktop window. This worked great up until the 7.x series. on mIRC 6.35 the window works fine if it was forced to a new parent, on 7.x series even tho it is now a desktop window i can't use it at all. not sure if this really is a bug or what not, probably should be a feature suggestion but we all know how long it takes for those to get implemented

//Define Function for mIRC to call

mIRC_hwnd = li->mHwnd;
li->mKeep = FALSE;
}
int __stdcall UnloadDll(int mTimeout)
{
if (!mTimeout)
{
UnmapViewOfFile(mData);
CloseHandle(hFileMap);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
int __stdcall SetWParent(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause)
{
HWND child = (HWND)atoi(gettok(data,1," ",0));
HWND owner = (HWND)atoi(gettok(data,2," ",0));
if ((IsWindow(child)) && (IsWindow(owner))) { SetParent(child,owner); }
return 1;
}
like previously stated, works great on the non-unicode versions of mIRC. gives me the ability to individually make windows desktop or not without having to mark types as automatic desktop windows.

Remove the WS_CHILD style of the window after using setParent and you're good, tried on 7.1.

so what something like
long styles;
styles = GetWindowLong(child,GWL_STYLE);
styles &= ~WS_CHILD;
SetWindowLong(child,GWL_STYLE,styles);
I'll give it a shot but theres no garuntee I always use setparent to make a window a desktop window.

HAH that worked! thanks Wims, but it still is bizarre, my Channel window has no controls, no minimize/maximize/close/etc.. its just got a caption bar.  EDIT: actually i figured it out, i set parent to the desktop when it was maximized, if its not maximized, when i send it to the desktop the controls are there, minimizing/maximizing any window brings the controls back to the window also if they aren't there.

I can't reproduce that, whatever the window state is before using setParent, I don't lose the buttons on the title/caption bar, I'm on window xp, did you try using the dll instead of your ?

Unfortunately using SetParent() results in a number of side-effects, so I would not recommend it. mIRC never uses SetParent() and instead recreates the entire window whenever you move it between mIRC and the desktop.
