Make fbgfx window not show on panel

[chrowle]

Hello, I am writing a sidebar with fbgfx, and am wondering how to get it to not show on the panel (lxpanel). Is there a way to do this?

Hi. The best way I've found is this (win-only):

Code: Select all

WindowTitle "MySidebar"
Dim As HANDLE hWnd = FindWindow(0, StrPtr("MySidebar"))
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE)
SetWindowLong (hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE) Or WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW)

Maybe someone knows a better way.

Edit:
Sorry, this question seems to be related to LXDE, so this post will not help. But as this is the General part of the forum, maybe someone else can use it.

Just a small also general remark (also applying on any procedure called):
'StrPtr()' in FindWindow(0, StrPtr("MySidebar")) is not mandatory, and we can just use:
FindWindow(0, "MySidebar")
because in FreeBASIC, any string type argument may be directly passed to a procedure referring to a parameter declared as 'zstring ptr'.

Hmm... Is there a way that will work in LXDE?

Code: Select all

SHELL "wmctrl -r YourWindowName -b add,skip_taskbar"

However you need wmcrtl installed for this to work.
