[comp.windows.ms] Help accessing Windows functions

nlane@garnet.berkeley.edu (08/31/90)

Hi all.  Just received my SuperBase 4 v1.2 update and it is now Win 3
specific and fixes all the gripes about "non-standard" user-interface.
(The print functions are now under the File menu!)

One new function in the programming language is a function to call a
C function in a DLL.  What I need to know is: is there a function in
any DLL or in the GDI or USER programs that lets me take away scroll
bars, the close icon, the maximize and minimize buttons from an already
existing Window?  If so, what is the name of the function and its
parameters.  An example in C would be useful.  I don't have the SDK -
so something intrinsic would be useful.  I basically don't want anyone
to be able to close my application, move the scroll bars or anything 
like that - they don't need to.  If it's not possible to take the buttons
away from an existing window, what is the function to call up a child
window without scroll bars and the other buttons and how could I redirect
output to it?

Thanks
