In the NoTitle.exe sample, when the window has a caption and the user selects NoTitle from the main menu, the caption is removed. When the user double- clicks the window without a caption by using the left mouse button, the caption is added to the window.

NoTitle.exe removes the caption by performing the following five steps:

  1. Removes the menu from the window by calling the SetMenu() function with NULL as the hMenu parameter.


  2. Retrieves the current window style by calling GetWindowLong with GWL_STYLE as the nIndex parameter.


  3. Removes the caption bit.


  4. Calls SetWindowLong() with GWL_STYLE to change the style of the window.


  5. Calls InvalidateRect() to instruct the application to redraw the window.
