1. Non-resizable windows and the ever present comma in Win32LIB

Greetings
I have two questions.
Can a created window's attribute be set so it cannot be resized at all? I've
noticed some applications that do this.
Also, I've noticed the generous use of the comma in many of David Cuny's
WIN32LIB example programs. When I was creating a very, very, VERY simple
text editor for experimentation with WIN32LIB, I accidentally forgot to
include the ,'s in the menu and menu list definitions, but I appear to have
suffered no consequences during the compilation and execution of the
program.
Is the comma really required as part of the WIN32LIB syntax?
Thanks
David Gay

Try: WS_THICKFRAME

I'm not really sure what you mean here. The commas are generally just standard
Eu syntax. I suspect you're referring to the commas between all the create()
statements. Dave usually creates a control, and uses a constant to track it,
and so he puts commas between them to avoid typing "constant" repeatedly. Did
you perhaps use atoms or integers for your controls?

Let me rephrase my question...I meant using WIN32LIB :)

That's precisely what I did. Thank you :)

include win32lib.ew
constant
NoSizeWin = or_all( {WS_DLGFRAME, WS_SYSMENU, WS_MINIMIZEBOX} ),
MyWin = create( Window, "my non-sizeable window",
0, 0, 0, 300, 200, NoSizeWin )
-- hope this helps,

It does help. It appears the attribute to change (or not to change) the size
of the window is the result of multiple flags being OR'd to produce the
desired effect. And as I mentioned to Wolfgang, it explains what that last
parameter in the create() function is for.
Thanks to you (and also to everyone) for the help offered.
