Preventing resize of a popup with a resize border [message #654856]

Is there any way to prevent a popup with the style INFOPOPUPRESIZE_SHELLSTYLE from being resized?

It may not sound very user friendly to show a resize border without allowing the user to resize the popup, but I would like to create a popup similar to the Date/Time popup in Windows 7 (which has a 7 pixel glass border around it). Setting the style to INFOPOPUPRESIZE_SHELLSTYLE gives me the style I want, but also enables resizing.

I've tried to prevent resizing using a ControlListener but this results in a slight flicker as the shell is apparently resized by the OS before it is restored by the listener.

Is there any way of achieving what I want in SWT?

Is there for instance a way to remove the default resize handler from the shell window after the resize style has been set?

To clarify: I would like a window with the border one gets with SWT.BORDER | SWT.TITLE, but without the title.

Specifying just SWT.BORDER gives a totally different border than with SWT.TITLE.

Hi,

Aspects like shell behaviour are handled by the native window manager, and
overriding its behaviour is much more difficult than overriding behaviours
of more typical controls (buttons, etc.). I don't think there's a way to do
what you want nicely (ie.- without flicker, etc.).
