How remove System Menu & Icon without removing Close button in Dialog

[Simon]

Hi - I use the VC6 and the MFC. In various dialogs, I would like to get rid
of the System Menu in the Title bar, but retain the Close button. If I
check "System Menu" in the resource editor "properties" for the dialog I get
both. If I untick it, I get neither. And yet I see many other apps which
have a Close button but no System menu in their dialogs, so it must be
possible. Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks in advance

Simon

Have you tried the "Tool Window" look (just a checkbox in the properties).
You might like that for these kinds of dialogs.

Hello Simon,

Thanks Tom for your sharing. Microsoft no longer supports Visual C++ 6.0
in any form since 2005:

However, I am still glad to share some information with you. Apart from
Tom's solution(setting window style), we can also try the following way.

To remove the Icon of a window, we can call SetIcon function with NULL as
its argument.

SetIcon(NULL,TRUE);

To remove System menus, we can call GetSystemMenu to get all menu items,
and then remove the ones that we don't need.

CMenu* pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
if (pSysMenu != NULL)
{
pSysMenu->RemoveMenu(0,MF_BYPOSITION);
}
