CreateWindowEx and the taskbar

[Joel]

Is it possible to create a window (parent one with CreateWindowEx) that will not visible on the start menu's taskbar?

[DJMaze]

yes, try the following code

PHP Code:

HINSTANCE Msgs_hInst;
WNDCLASSEX wndclass;
wndclass.cbSize = sizeof(wndclass);
wndclass.style =  CS_DBLCLKS;
wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0;
wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0;
wndclass.hInstance = Msgs_hInst;
wndclass.hIcon = 0;
wndclass.hCursor = (HICON) LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) NULL;
wndclass.lpszMenuName = NULL;
wndclass.lpszClassName = _T("MP3T");
wndclass.lpfnWndProc = NULL;
wndclass.hIconSm = (HICON) NULL;
if (RegisterClassEx(&wndclass)) {
    HWND Msgs_hWnd = CreateWindowEx(0, _T("MP3T"), _T("MP3Tunes"), 0,
        0, 0, 256, 16,
        (HWND) Handle, (HMENU) NULL, Msgs_hInst, NULL);

    // then the other trick
    ShowWindow(Msgs_hWnd, SW_HIDE);
} 


NOTE i think ShowWindow() is Borland specific function and i've forgot the MFC command
