This sort of thing can be done through calls to the Windows API, and
you can make those calls from VB or MapBasic. Reference books like
The Windows API Bible will can help you understand what you'd need
to do. We've done it in the past, stripping those buttons and more
from windows that needed to be embedded in other applications.
That being said, you might want to think very carefully about whether
you really want to do it. (To the extent that it does work) the Microsoft
Windows environment works for users because windows have a consistent
set of behaviors, and users already know how those windows will behave.
It sounds like you want some of your windows to behave in a different
way than other Windows windows behave -- that invites confusion and
frustration from your users.
