I am using the below code to remove the Title Bar of an application, which is working perfectly for notepad. Now i want to remove the Menu Bar also. How to achieve it ?
//Finds a window by class name
[DllImport("USER32.DLL")]
public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
//Sets a window to be a child window of another window
[DllImport("USER32.DLL")]
public static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);
//Sets window attributes
[DllImport("USER32.DLL")]
public static extern int SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong);
//Gets window attributes
[DllImport("USER32.DLL")]
public static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex);
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindow", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindowByCaption(IntPtr ZeroOnly, string lpWindowName);
//assorted constants needed
public static int GWL_STYLE = -16;
public static int WS_BORDER = 0x00800000; //window with border
public static int WS_DLGFRAME = 0x00400000; //window with double border but no title
public static int WS_CAPTION = WS_BORDER | WS_DLGFRAME; //window with a title bar
public void WindowsReStyle()
{
Process[] Procs = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process proc in Procs)
{
if (proc.ProcessName.StartsWith("notepad"))
{
IntPtr pFoundWindow = proc.MainWindowHandle;
int style = GetWindowLong(pFoundWindow, GWL_STYLE);
SetWindowLong(pFoundWindow, GWL_STYLE, (style & ~WS_CAPTION));
}
}
}
