Hidding a program from Windows toolbar
in [MFC]
|
From: WonderMan on 26 May 2008 10:14 Hello, I created a MFC dialog-based program with VC++ 6.0 and Windows XP Pro, but when I use it, I get his name and icon showing on the Windows toolbar. Is there a way to hide the program from the Windows toolbar, i.e to be able to use the program without having his name and icon displayed on the Windows toolbar ? Thank you.

When I say 'Window toolbar', you should read 'Window taskbar', ie the bar which show at the bottom of your screen and shows a box with the program name and its icon when it is running ...

See the CreateWindowEx documentation. I hope you have a good reason for wanting to do this. One of the most inconsistent, annoying things in Windows prior to Vista was that open Control Panel applets weren't represented by buttons on the taskbar. -- Doug Harrison Visual C++ MVP

In you project's .rc file, change the dialog style from WS_EX_APPWINDOW to WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW. WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW is a special style, normally used with floating toolbars, that prevents the window from appearing on the Windows taskbar. -- Scott McPhillips [VC++ MVP]
