Hide Autoit GUI from taskbar

[ffrankcool]

Hello, I've been searching the forum for hours now and I can't find anything about this

So what I want to do is hide my AutoIt program from the taskbar WITHOUT hiding the window!

Could anyone help me out?

How would I integrate it to my current GUI without loosing the 3 buttons at the top of the window:

$sGUI = GUICreate("Boudi's Tools", 125, 85, Default, Default, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI)

Hmm I am not sure of that one, GUI's aren't my expertise, but SOMEone gotta know, give it some time.....

I'm posting the code here frank(we spoke on msn earlier):

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447, 193, 125, -1, -1, WinGetHandle("Program Manager")) ; <-- creating the window as a child of another window will remove it's entry in the task bar

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

An old post, but helped me get the taskbar icon to not show up. Using...

GUICreate('Password Expiration Notification', 850, 420, -1, -1, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, WinGetHandle('Program Manager'))

There is no way to close or move the window without clicking OK or killing the process in TaskManager. Either way we can guarantee that the user saw the message.

Thanks to FreeFry and ffrankcool for the posts.
