Q: What is a pop-up window?
A: A pop-up window is an overlapped window with optional title bar and border.
It is created by specifying WS_POPUP style in CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx function.
- pop-up windows are generally used for dialogs and other temporary windows that appear outside an application's main window;
- in practice is used the composite style WS_POPUPWINDOW instead of WS_POPUP;
this adds a border and system menu.
Code:#define WS_POPUPWINDOW (WS_POPUP | \ WS_BORDER | \ WS_SYSMENU)
- to make the system menu visible, WS_POPUPWINDOW must be combined with WS_CAPTION.
