Windows Taskbar API [closed]

Question

Is there any API that allows to control which icons are shown in the Windows (7) Taskbar at a given time? I would like to have the processes still running, but their icons not show up on the taskbar.

Answer 1

See the various extended window styles in CreateWindowEx, and figure out which one suits your needs. (Many of them deal with taskbar items, it's not just one.) Then just set the style with SetWindowLong.

There's also ITaskbarList::DeleteTab, but I really don't recommend this for hiding your window.
