 Good afternoon

How does one create an exclusion rule to prevent ALL small, non-resizable dialog windows, class #32770, from displaying title buttons? The windows are too small to display anything other than a native close button.

I am not a coder but think some sort of regular expression would accomplish my task.
What should the window caption and Regular Expression be?

Thanks!

 Hello, Jonathan

Thank you for contacting us.

Did you consider creating an Exclusion with only the Class parameter enabled in the Target Window section and specifying #32770 as a value? This will prevent applying of Default Settings to such windows (but not of specific settings if you have specific settings for all windows of an .exe of the application for example for WinRAR.exe and other parameters are disabled). If you tried this then tell me what the problem is with this solution in your case?

 Good evening Bogdan

Thank you for the reply.

Creating an exclusion by checking only the Class parameter and leaving other form fields unchecked seems to work. I checked a few small, non-resizable #32770 dialog windows and none had the the title buttons specified in global settings. Thank you.

So I tried an additional step. Rather than excluding AWM title buttons on #32770 non-resizable top window borders, I decided to add an specific setting for these windows, again checking only Class as parameter and leaving remaining choices unchecked. In this specific setting, I added only Roll Up and Minimize to Tray AWM title buttons since these two will fit with the native Close/X button. Two additional questions...

1. Please see the attached picture of WinRar main window (top) and archive and warning #32270 dialog windows (below). The AWM buttons are wide compared to the native help/close buttons. Horizontally shifting (initially at position 0) to right causes overlap of AWM title buttons with native windows buttons. Is there a way to make the AWM title buttons square as opposed to rectangular so the gap between the AWM title buttons and native windows buttons is reduced?
2. I would like to have selected AWM title buttons on the native windows #32770 resizable Open/Save/Export resizable dialog boxes since there is plenty of room on the title bar. Would it be better and more efficient to edit the specific setting for all #32770 windows in the 2nd paragraph above to somehow exclude the open/save dialog boxes? Or create an additional setting that just targets the open/save dialog boxes? I assume the 2nd choice but how would I capture this idea into the settings? Please note I am not a coder/regex expert.

Also, did you by chance see the other two questions I posed in the tech support forums?

Thanks, Jon
