How do I turn of WS_CAPTION style of a window (using user32.dll)?

Question

I am embedding a 3rd party app into a panel on a c# windows form (using SetParent from user32.dll). I need to then turn off the title bar windows style (WS_CAPTION) so that it looks like a part of the hosting application.

How do I change a window's style to accomplish this?

For sake of example, say _hWnd is the handle of the application to embed.

Answer 1

If memory serves, you might be able to do a GetWindowLong on the style, |= ~ WS_CAPTION on that value, and then SetWindowLong. See those APIs in MSDN.

Answer 2

SetWindowLong(_hWnd, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(_hWnd, GWL_STYLE) & ~WS_CAPTION);
