I know VDS 5 has the option to remove the window title bar but this makes the window immovable. Is there a way to a make a moveable window without a titlebar?

Actually, the window is movable, but it requires some maths. I'm pretty
sure that there is a post here somewhere that details this. But since I'm
not sure where it is, give me a few minutes, and I think I can have a
simple example for you.

Try this. It's a little wonky, but you'll get the idea. You can also browse the
Mousedown.dsc sample that came with VDS. Wink

Code:

  dialog create,MoveNoTitleWindow,-1,0,300,200,NOTITLE,CLICK
  dialog add,BUTTON,Close,170,225,70,25,Close
  dialog show
 
:Evloop
  wait 0.1,event
  %E = @event()
  goto %E
 
:Timer
  goto Evloop
 
:CLICK
  parse "%X;%Y",@mousepos(XY)
  parse "%T;%L",@winpos(MoveNoTitleWindow,TL)
  %%dX = @diff(%X,%L)
  %%dY = @diff(%Y,%T)
  while @mousedown(L)
    parse "%%X;%%Y",@mousepos(XY)
    %%newX = @diff(%%X,%%dX)
    %%newY = @diff(%%Y,%%dY)
    if @greater(0,%%newX)
      %%newX = 0
    end
    if @greater(0,%%newY)
      %%newY = 0
    end
    window position,MoveNoTitleWindow,%%newY,%%newX
  wend
  goto Evloop
 
:CloseBUTTON
:CLOSE
  exit
 


Edit1:
Figured out what was making dialog reset to 0,0 when clicked. Now works
like it's supposed to. Accidentally swapped two variables Embarassed

You should also be able to cheat and send your dialog WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN while the mouse is down which makes Windows think the user is dragging the title bar:
Code:

%%WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = $0A1
%%HTCAPTION = 2
dialog create,MoveNoTitleWindow,-1,0,300,200,NOTITLE,CLICK
  dialog add,BUTTON,Close,170,225,70,25,Close
  dialog show

:Evloop
  wait 0.1,event
  %E = @event()
  goto %E

:Timer
  goto Evloop

:CLICK
  while @mousedown(L)
    %P = @SENDMSG(@WINEXISTS(MoveNoTitleWindow),%%WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN,%%HTCAPTION,0)
  wend
  goto Evloop

:CloseBUTTON
:CLOSE
  exit

I haven't tried it in VDS yet, but works in other languages..

I think this issue has been discussed here earlier - try to do a search on NOTITLE & MOVE in the forums...

The VDS Clock example has no title bar and also an invisible bitmap for the window. That illustrates how you can drag using the window itself.
