Check out the style WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW. But this creates a smaller title bar. [edit] Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0500/c/c0500.asp Jignesh

Simply remove the WS_EX_APPWINDOW style from your window. MFC: pWnd->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_APPWINDOW, 0); Win32 API: LONG lStyle = ::GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE); lStyle &= ~WS_EX_APPWINDOW; ::SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, lStyle);
