Using the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea API call with Aero Glass enabled works just fine. However, I want it to work when Aero Glass is disabled as well, like how it works in the Windows control panel: Notice how the frame has extended into the client area, even though Aero Glass is disabled? When I make the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea API call in my application, the returned HRESULT is definitely not success, and my application ends up looking like this: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9629/clientapplication.png Normally, with Aero Glass enabled, the border stretches down to underneath the

I'm having problems using the DWM functionality of Windows Vista/7 on Java windows. I want to make the background of my frame use the Aero style. The Windows API to do so is provide by the function DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea in the dwmapi library. I've managed to call the procedure properly via JNA, and it does what it is supposed to do (You can see that for example when resizing the frame, before the next repaint you see the proper aero effects in the area not yet painted, see the attached image). But somewhere (I can't figure out where) a background is painted over the Aero effect and the

Background info: I have this MFC application I coded and been using for a long time that pretty much automatically saves screenshots to the hard disk when the user hits the Print Screen/Alt+Print Screen key. I have been putting off using anything related to Aero until now that I've been using Windows 7 RC for a couple of weeks. The problem: I'm using the standard GetDC/BitBlt method to capture the window contents. I have no problems with this method while doing regular full-screen grabs (no matter how many windows are opened etc). The problem arises when I try capturing the foreground window

I am aware that similar questions have been asked and answered. Mine, however, is a three-part question. For the purposes of this question, keep the following in mind: I am an amateur, early college undergraduate studying Computer Science. I am highly unskilled in complex programming, but I can understand most terminology. This is a WPF project created in Visual Studio using VB.NET, but I can read C# just as easily due to the languages' similarity. This is my first time experimenting with any DWM APIs. 1. Applying Aero Glass to Borderless Window First and foremost, is it possible to use the

Friends, Need to screenshot of the all desktop WITHOUT MY FORM and load in TImage. Success in Windows XP, 7 - with just ALPHABLEND = TRUE + SCREENSHOT PROCEDURE. But same code does not work in Windows 8 - capture all screen INCLUDING THE FORM. I know the problem is related to AERO - DWM.EXE - success using pssuspend.exe (sysinternals) - suspending winlogon.exe and killing dwm.exe Someone could tell me how to capture all desktop without my form also in Windows 8? prntscr.com/314rix - SUCESS IN WIN7 prntscr.com/314tj7 - FAILED IN WIN8 prntscr com/31502u - SUSPEND WINLOGON.EXE and KILL DWM.EXE IN

I am starting to believe that you can do nothing with Windows API. I have two windows. One has a DWM thumbnail in it. What I want to do is, I want to be able to capture the screen of the window with the thumbnail into the other one. When I do this, using bitblt, everything is copied except the thumbnail. It just isn't there in the bitmap. So how does the DWM rendering work? I mean, if DWM renders thumbnails directly onto the DC of the registered window, then my approach should work. I'm confused. Thanks a bunch. That's not how DWM works: the contents of the thumbnail are never blitted onto the

Is there any api or something that we make sure, Glass effect is already actived? In some codes that i saw, if DllNotFoundException throws, then they make sure it's not active or not exists. is there a better or standard way? This is the solution for Using Aero Effect to extend glass area in WPF . On this MSDN page it suggests you can detect Glass using DwmIsCompositionEnabled : When the status of desktop composition is changed, a WM_DWMCOMPOSITIONCHANGED message is broadcast. There are no parameters telling you if it's being enabled or disabled, so it's up to you to call
