How can I create a window with everything but the "restore/maximize" button?

CreateWindow(WINDOW_CLASS_NAME, // class "My Window", // title WS_TILED | WS_MINIMIZEBOX, 0,0, // x,y GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN),// width, height NULL, // handle to parent NULL, // handle to menu hInstance,// instance NULL))) // creation params

When I impliment this and called the ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED), there''s no MinimizeBox. And what about the CloseBox or something? I just don''t want a "restore/maximize" buttong so that my window is maximized all the time, but I do want to user to be able to minimize of close the window.

You also need the WS_SYSMENU option.

I use:

WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_VISIBLE | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX
