Hey, I've been trying to force MS into a child window for for a few day's now. It now fits snug inside the panel but with a short list of problems. Not only do key presses not work. My mouse is not visible when I click back on the form. Is this something to do with focus?

CODED IN VB.NET Yeah i know -_-

Example: *MS is only used as an example

make sure your parent window has the WSCLIP_CHILDREN style

Is that correct?

I don't code VB or .NET but in regular WinAPI you can define it as part of the style argument when calling CreateWindow/Ex

If you want to do it with the way above, GetWindowLongPtr() first then OR the result with WS_CLIPCHILDREN if you're sure that it's not already there then SetWindowLongPtr() the result

If WSCLIP_CHILDREN isn't working you can always just get rid of it manually as the gap is the size of a window's border in your OS's theme. In the form try setting the top/side offsets to negative numbers of the height/width of the border respectively, or just stick a blank panel ontop so it is covered.

That still wont solve the mouse problem though. Or key presses.

try SetFocus() or SetForegroundWindow()
