Re: Re: Prevent program from moving on screen

Here's another idea that doesn't require any processing power.

But 1st a question:
AFAIK the only way to move a window is by dragging on the window's
title bar.  Since your not allowing a title bar on either program how
will
they be able to move the windows?

Let's ass-u-me they have title bars & they can't be moved any other way
 that the user can access.  If so, why not overlap the bottom window
with the top 1 so it obscures the title bar of the bottom window.  And
then make the top window stay on top with AutXtra's "WinTopMost"
function.  Also make the top window big enough so its title bar is off
the
top of the screen.

If your affraid of users resizing the windows by clicking & dragging on
the sides or bottom of the window.  Then just resize the windows so the
edges are just off of the screen as well.

Of course this whole scenario is based on the ASSUMPTION that you
can't otherwise move the windows without the title bars.
