windows api

[wence]

Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long

When i declare this windows api to enable borderless form to be dragged, do i need to add in some dll ?
Another question is for the borderless form, once i click somewhere outside of the form, the app doesnt seem to be minimized to the taskbar, does this need windows api as well?

Assuming you are referring to an installation and setup package, the answer is no.

I've never used a program where if I clicked outside of its window, it gets minimized…

If you notice the library that is referenced in the API declaration you can see its "user32.dll" which is a Windows core system file used to required features of Windows.

If you look it up you can get the version of Windows that it was introduced so you know what versions will be supported without the need/worry of it breaking due to being unsupported or present.

Umm, MSN Messenger, Outlook, plenty of others. Most give the option of minimizing to the systray instead of the taskbar.

Umm, if I click outside of any window it just gets set to the foreground...
