Subject: Delphi Tricks & Tips
Mark,
The Delphi Tricks & Tips page look cool! It's a great idea!
I have one comment on the FloatWin sample, though: it's *much* more
complicated than it needs to be. All you have to do is handle
Windows' wm_NCHitTest message. Here is some code I wrote for a Borland
Tech Info document that does the same thing.
-steve
unit Dragmain;
interface
uses
SysUtils, WinTypes, WinProcs, Messages, Classes, Graphics, Controls,
Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
procedure WMNCHitTest(var M: TWMNCHitTest); message wm_NCHitTest;
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
procedure TForm1.WMNCHitTest(var M: TWMNCHitTest);
begin
inherited; { call the inherited message handler }
if M.Result = htClient then { is the click in the client area? }
M.Result := htCaption; { if so, make Windows think it's }
{ on the caption bar. }
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Close;
end;
end.
