It's just a matter of the style used when the call to CreateWindowEx is made. If I use a style of WS_VISIBLE|WS_POPUP|WS_SYSMENU|WS_MINIMIZEBOX and a styleEx of WS_EX_APPWINDOW I get a window without a border, that has an entry on the task-bar and who may be minimized or closed from the system-menu, activated by right-clicking the task-bar entry for the program. See this project for a quick demo: Clock Application[^]
