Remove a Processe's MainWindow Titlebar

[Redth]

Hello,

I'm working with launching external processes and putting them into containers inside my program. I've got this part working (albeit reluctantly with the SetParent API)...

Anyways, now i'd like to do a few things to the window... Keep in mind, i didn't make this program... I'd like to accomplish 2 things actually... The first is to Remove the top titlebar of the window. I think there is some kind of API to do this... I don't mind using the API if there is no other way, but regardless, i wouldn't know which API to use for this...

And secondly, I'd like to be able to disable/hide a button on the form... how would i do this?

Again, i realize these things may and probably will require me to use some api's.. i'm fine with that if there is no .NET equivalent way to do it... i do have the window's handle that i want to remove the titlebar/captionbar/whatever you want to call it from...

thanks for the help!

I think in pre-.net you would use the SendMessage API so I search for an equivalent.

To add a button to another window you can simply create it and then call SetParent() on it with the other windows handle as the parent. You'll probably also want to set its position and visibility.

Use SetWindowLongPtr to play with the window styles and extended window styles.
