CsWin32
A source generator to add a user-defined set of Win32 P/Invoke methods and supporting types to a C# project.
//A snippet of the code that helped me with the Win32 APIs from the Simple Runtime Window Editor (SRWE) //Source: https://github.com/dtgDTGdtg/SRWE/blob/b439859e15ca44b6c4715fdb015c321a49ef634a/SRWE/Window.cs public void RemoveBorders() { uint nStyle = (uint)WinAPI.GetWindowLong(m_hWnd, WinAPI.GWL_STYLE); nStyle = (nStyle | (WinAPI.WS_THICKFRAME + WinAPI.WS_DLGFRAME + WinAPI.WS_BORDER)) ^ (WinAPI.WS_THICKFRAME + WinAPI.WS_DLGFRAME + WinAPI.WS_BORDER); WinAPI.SetWindowLong(m_hWnd, WinAPI.GWL_STYLE, nStyle); nStyle = (uint)WinAPI.GetWindowLong(m_hWnd, WinAPI.GWL_EXSTYLE); nStyle = (nStyle | (WinAPI.WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME + WinAPI.WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE + WinAPI.WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE + WinAPI.WS_EX_STATICEDGE)) ^ (WinAPI.WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME + WinAPI.WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE + WinAPI.WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE + WinAPI.WS_EX_STATICEDGE); WinAPI.SetWindowLong(m_hWnd, WinAPI.GWL_EXSTYLE, nStyle); uint uFlags = WinAPI.SWP_NOSIZE | WinAPI.SWP_NOMOVE | WinAPI.SWP_NOZORDER | WinAPI.SWP_NOACTIVATE | WinAPI.SWP_NOOWNERZORDER | WinAPI.SWP_NOSENDCHANGING | WinAPI.SWP_FRAMECHANGED; WinAPI.SetWindowPos(m_hWnd, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, uFlags); }
I tried out both TerraFX.Interop.Windows and CsWin32, ultimately settling on the latter. CsWin32 was a little less intimidating as the API is generated based on strings in a text file rather than containing everything at once. Also I like jumping to definition of types to read more and explore APIs etc and doing that to one of the types in the TerraFX library crashed Visual Studio. That's more of a VS problem than a TerraFX library but still - CsWin32 would work great for what I'm doing.

I called my project Borderless 1942 and is available on GitHub. It is a self-contained, single-file .NET 6 application. Because it is self-contained, you don't need .NET 6 installed to run it.
