Code: Select all

#WINDOW_LIBRARY = 0
Style.l = #WS_POPUPWINDOW|#WS_DLGFRAME|#WS_CLIPSIBLINGS|#DS_MODALFRAME|#DS_3DLOOK ;Toolbar style
OpenWindow(#WINDOW_LIBRARY, 100, 100, 250, 305, "Blitz libraries",Style)
*NewExStyle = #WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW; Toolbar ExStyle
SetWindowLong_(WindowID(#WINDOW_LIBRARY), #GWL_EXSTYLE, *NewExStyle);Set ExStyle
SetWindowPos_(WindowID(#WINDOW_LIBRARY), #HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0,#SWP_NOMOVE|#SWP_NOSIZE);Always on top

PB, that's a bit blunt. And there is always more than one way of doing something

LOL sorry, it's true.
But the initial goal of this tip is to hide icon tackbar not to create a toolwindow.
Search :"hide taskbar icon "
And tell me if you find your topic

A ToolWindow is a normal window that doesn't show in the Taskbar.

More to the point: search for "hide app from taskbar" and the very
first match found, the FAQ, shows how to do it.
These forums will quickly turn to crap if people just keep posting
the same stuff over and over. Use the search functions PROPERLY
before posting stuff, is all I ask...

The COM example to hide a window from the taskbar fails here (it does hide it, but it reappears in certain circumstances). This example would suit the intended purpose just fine for many people; no harm in giving people more options.

The example in the FAQ is not the COM method, but is exactly the same
code as posted here, which is why I want people to read before posting.
