How to create small windows?

[Erik Cedergren (ecgn)]

I'm currently trying to create an application with a very small window, 32 by 32 pixels to be exact. However, I can't seem to make windows smaller than 112 by 27 pixels, even though I make them borderless. Does anyone know why this is the case

If it is not possible to make the window smaller, does anyone know how to paint a panel control directly on the desktop, or on top of another window

Tx

Thanks Bela

So, the trick was to set both minimum and maximum sizes to the desired window dimension, instead of leaving at default 0 by 0. Still, I find it a bit annoying that having 0 by 0 as the minimum makes it impossible to create 32 by 32. Weird

Tx again
