So I've inherited this MDI application, and it has the ubiquitous scroll
bars, which I'm trying to get rid of. While the whole MDI scheme is
inherently bogus, I don't have the time right now to eradicate it from
the app. So I find a couple of code snippets from Peter Below, about
subclassing the form to get these things to go away:
If ClientHandle <> 0 Then Begin
If GetWindowLong( ClientHandle, GWL_USERDATA ) <> 0 Then
Exit; // cannot subclass client window, userdata already in use
{!!!!!THIS LINE IS GETTING FLAGGED AS ERROR!!!!!}
SetWindowLong( ClientHandle, GWL_USERDATA,
SetWindowLong( ClientHandle, GWL_WNDPROC,
integer( @ClientWindowProc)));
{!!!!!ERROR BEING REPORTED IS "Variable Required"!!!!!}
End;
Add a new standalone function to the unit, it has to go above the
FormCreate method since it is referenced in the statement above.
Function ClientWindowProc( wnd: HWND; msg: Cardinal; wparam,
lparam: Integer ): Integer; stdcall;
Var
f: Pointer;
Begin
f:= Pointer( GetWindowLong( wnd, GWL_USERDATA ));
Case msg of
WM_NCCALCSIZE: Begin
If ( GetWindowLong( wnd, GWL_STYLE ) and
(WS_HSCROLL or WS_VSCROLL)) <> 0
Then
SetWindowLong( wnd, GWL_STYLE,
GetWindowLong( wnd, GWL_STYLE )
and not (WS_HSCROLL or WS_VSCROLL));
End;
End;
Result := CallWindowProc( f, wnd, msg, wparam, lparam );
End;
As shown in the code above, I'm getting an error when attempting to
compile this in D5. I've tried a couple of things to make it happy, but
so far to no avail. Any ideas? Should this compile in D5? Compiler
switch that might be messing it up? This is on XP Professional.
TIA
