How To's: How to drag/drop/cut/copy/paste files/directories between applications using the OLE clipboard?

How to remove the application title from the task bar? Have you wondered how an application window can make itself stealth by not appearing in the task bar? Well, one way is to fake its window destruction to the task bar: void RemoveFromTaskBar(HWND hwnd) { static const TCHAR szTrayClass[] = _T("Shell_TrayWnd"); static const TCHAR szTaskClass[] = _T("MSTaskSwWClass"); // Get the taskbar's window handle. HWND hwTray = ::FindWindowEx(NULL, NULL, szTrayClass, NULL); HWND hwTask = ::FindWindowEx(hwTray, NULL, szTaskClass, NULL); ASSERT(hwTask != NULL); // Get id of the shell's hook message. UINT nMsg = ::RegisterWindowMessage(_T("SHELLHOOK")); ASSERT(nMsg != NULL); // Fake destruction of the window. ::PostMessage(hwTask, nMsg, HSHELL_WINDOWDESTROYED, (LPARAM)hwnd); }
