So how would you add a style back that you removed?


@Julian, What about Extended Styles, is that possible also? I may never use any of this but always good to know.

Yeah - I've never really messed around with windows styles beyond copying and adapting other peoples AHK scripts

I guess to add the flags back you could check if the flags are not already set - something like:

if not style & 0xc40000 == 0xc40000 then
  style = style + 0xc40000
end

but there may be a neater way of doing this?

In fact you could check whether the flag value is set whether you want to add them or remove them - and then adjust accordingly - subtracting the flag value to remove them.

With AHK - you simply set the new flag settings to positive if you want to add them - and negative if you want to remove them - I guess it does the rest under the hood.
