Re: Can I remove the System Menu Icon from the MDI menubar
Hi Tom,
I am not trying to remove the System Menu Icon from the Main
MDI Window's title bar. I am trying to remove the MDI Child Window's System
Menu Icon that gets appended to the MenuBar when you maximize the MDI Child
Window.
With the code that I have, the MDI child window doesn't display the system
menu in its title bar. When the MDI child window is maximized, the default
windows behavior is to append the MDI Child Window's icon and system menu to
the menu bar. I am trying to turn off this default behavior and at the same
time retain the maximize/minimze/close buttons on the title bar.
Thanks,

I never do this, but I'd guess you could do it in mainframe.cpp in the
PreCreateWindow() function with something like:
BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
cs.style &= ~WS_SYSMENU;
// What ever styles you want
}

Hi,
I am working with a standard MDI window application. I want to remove
the System menu and its icon from the top left most corner of the title
bar
from the MDI child windows. I want to retain the maximize/minmize/close
that
are displayed on the right side of the title bar.
With the help of this,
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1865178&SiteID=1 , I
am
able to turn off the system menu icon and also retain the
maximize/minimize/close on the MDI child windows.
The issue is if you maximize the child window, Windows add the System Menu
along with a default icon to the MDI Main window's menu bar. You can see
this
at the top left corner of the menu bar. Is there a way that I can turn off
the System menu and its icon that gets displayed in the menubar when the
child window is maximized?
Thanks in advance,
