Gui window without close button

[Randajad]

How i can do it? I try to google, yes.
Simply win->getCloseButton()->drop() does segfault.
I need withdow without this annoying button. Why there is no "base_window" without buttons at all?

Because that's not possible on all platforms. You can't dictate the window bar buttons on linux at all, for example. I don't think Mac allows you to remove the close button either, though it does let you disable min/max.

The windows-specific solution is to create your window using your desired winapi calls and then using createdeviceex.

Use remove() instead of drop(). Drop() is for memory-management, don't ever use that if you haven't added a reference to an object. While remove() just removes a gui-element from the gui-environment so it's no longer rendered.

Thanks for reply!
Okay, another question: is this safe to do this? I think, IGUIWindow also calls btn->remove() when it's destroying, or not?
Also i have question too: how i can disable window blinking when i press outside of the window?

[CuteAlien]

It's save calling remove several times (just won't do anything if it's already removed).

The short answer to disable blinking is - don't make it modal - this shows for modal windows that it's impossible to click outside. If you really don't want that behavior for modal windows you have to modify the engine in CGUIModalScreen::draw (just removing all code in there would do the trick).

Thanks many times for the help! You are great!

maybe getCloseButton()->setVisible(false);
