Something like this...

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 320, 300, #PB_Window_SystemMenu , "SetWindowLong_() Test") And CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
  ButtonGadget(0, 10, 10, 100, 20, "ToolWindow")
  Repeat 
    event = WaitWindowEvent() 
    If event = #PB_EventGadget And EventGadgetID() = 0
      oldStyle = GetWindowLong_(WindowID(), #GWL_EXSTYLE)
      SetWindowLong_(WindowID(), #GWL_EXSTYLE, oldStyle | #WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
      DisableGadget(0, 1)
      SetWindowPos_(WindowID(), 0, -1 , -1, -1, -1, #SWP_NOSIZE | #SWP_NOMOVE | #SWP_NOZORDER  | #SWP_FRAMECHANGED | #SWP_SHOWWINDOW)
    EndIf
  Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
EndIf
End
