The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.1
Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) included with:
```
    - Microsoft Windows NT versions 3.1 and 3.5
```

There are no functions included in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) to add or remove windows from the task list. All top-level windows (that is, windows without parents) that are visible will automatically appear in the task list. A window can be removed from the task list by making it hidden. Call ShowWindow() with the SW_HIDE parameter to hide the window. To make it visible again, call ShowWindow() with the appropriate parameter such as SW_SHOW or SW_SHOWNORMAL.
