And I tried on Win XP. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wceui40/html/cerefdlgtemplate.asp Searching in Internet is like Searching a needle in hay stack If u are unable to find something in MSDN or else where, just send a mail asking somebody to search MSDN for you.

It isn't shown on my taskbar. I am using > Windows XP... what version are you using? Now I use Windows XP Pro. Only in -multiwindow with "hide root" it hides from Task bar But all other modes it is there in Taskbar. Same case in WinXP Home, and Win2k (I tested 2 week back) > WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW doesn't seem right.

I am attaching a sample for this case WS_EX_NOACTIVATE also wont show in task bar. But I dont know whether we will able to use it. It may be useful in -multiwindow mode with show root, to act like a desktop. And u can put wallpaper and root window click (????) on that. > I did, however, add the extended style WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME and the > normal style WS_DLGFRAME.

You can also try SetWindowPos() with Z-Order HWND_TOPMOST and flags SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wceui40/html/cerefSetWindowPos.asp I dont find any reason why "Exit Dialog" not to be TOPMOST > > Any ideas on how to get rid of the Maximize button on the dialog?

(similary WS_MAXIMIZEBOX cause minimise button to show up) Additionly if you want to disable "Close (X)" button with SysMenu/Left hand Icon Use WS_SYSMENU in Style It will also bring up "Close(X)" button along with SysMenu (M$ may have done this, to make old Win 3.1 pgm to show "Close (X)" button If you remember there was no Close(X) in Win 3.1) and then do case WM_INITDIALOG: hMenu = GetSystemMenu(hwnd, FALSE); EnableMenuItem (hMenu , SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND | MF_GRAYED); But again, if you want a "Close" option as menu Item, then add RemoveMenu(hMenu, SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND ); AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING, IDC_MYCLOSE, "&My Close"); > Thanks for your help, > > Harold > You are welcome.
