Shell context menu problem [message #439240]

I am creating a nonresizable tool shell with a title bar and close button
using:

// SWT.TITLE is unnecessary
m_shell = new Shell(m_display, SWT.TITLE | SWT.CLOSE | SWT.TOOL);

There are no min or max buttons displayed on the title bar. Even if
SWT.MIN or SWT.MAX were used, they still would not appear which is correct.

Right-clicking on the title bar shows the following menu items:

- Restore (greyed out)
- Move
- Size (greyed out)
- Minimize
- Maximize
- Close

The Minimize and Maximize menu items should not be there. Selecting
either causes problems. How can I disable those menu items as they should
be or prevent them from being handled? The only relevant event that I can
find is:

m_shell.addControlListener(new ControlListener()
...
public void controlResized(ControlEvent e)
...

but ControlEvent does not have a doit/cancel flag and setting the shell
size doesn't appear to have any effect.

Note that this is with Eclipse 3.0 on Windows XP SP1.

Yikes! Please enter a problem report and I'll looking into it. The context
menu platform specific and cannot be accessed using SWT API so you can't fix
it.

Steve, there was a second followup post (id=12464) by you in this thread
but it's showing an error ("The article doesn't exist."). Can you re-post
it and/or email it if you didn't mean to delete it?

I'll post a problem report but do you have any suggestions for
workarounds? It does not have be through the standard SWT API. I'm
already using a "customized" build of SWT so changing code internal to
swt.jar/swt.dll is not a problem. Note that I have reproduced this bug
using the standard 3.0 distrib.

Are there any possible tricks using a call along the lines of:

OS.SetWindowLong(m_shell.handle, OS.GWL_EXSTYLE, OS.WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW);

Thanks,
Mike
