Hi!
I'm building a custom GUI with bitmaps.
I already got the minimize and close bitmaps to act as buttons and minimize and close the dialog.
How can move the window when user drag a bitmap (a custom tittle bar)?
I know about MoveWindow() API, but how to actually get the current position, and then when user drag the dialog, it move?

the first thing that i can think of is GetWindowRect( ), there is also the WM_MOVE message and the low word of lParam is the x, the high word of lParam is the y, but i am not sure if this can move with SendMessage( ) or is simply a notification

Thanks, I think it will work!
WM_MOVE must be the notification message. If x and y are in lParam, I can then use MoveWindow() API to move the window.
Although I have no idea on how to implement this, it seems that it's the way...

try this (masm):

Code:
...

        cmp             ax,WM_MOUSEMOVE
        jz              @@wmmousemove

...

  @@wmmousemove:
        invoke  _domove,[hWnd]  
        jmp             @@processed     

...

_domove proc hWnd:dword
        local   pt:POINT
        local   rct:RECT
        
        lea             esi,[pt]
        invoke  GetCursorPos,esi
        lea             edi,[rct]
        invoke  GetWindowRect,[hWnd],edi
        
        mov             eax,[pt.x]
        sub             eax,[ptmove.x]
        add             eax,[rct.left]
        
        mov             edx,[pt.y]
        sub             edx,[ptmove.y]
        add             edx,[rct.top]
        
        m2m             [ptmove.x],[pt.x]
        m2m             [ptmove.y],[pt.y]
        
        mov             ecx,[rct.right]
        sub             ecx,[rct.left]
        
        mov             ebx,[rct.bottom]
        sub             ebx,[rct.top]
        
        invoke  MoveWindow,[hWnd],eax,edx,ecx,ebx,TRUE
        ret
_domove endp

In your message handling loop catch mouse down events (WM_LBUTTONDOWN) and check if the pointer is within the area of your 'title bar' if it is then post a WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN event to the window specifiying that the button is down on the real (and nonexistant) title bar (HTCAPTION) using SendMessage API. the OS will do the rest.

eg. SendMessage(hWnd, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, NULL)

I hope that made sense Smile
