Creating a window with only the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS (which seems to be forced) and WS_VISIBLE styles, I get this:

beans
At first the window appears with no border or title bar as normal, and doesn't show up in the taskbar. Once it loses focus, this partial title bar appears and it gets added to the taskbar. Double UTF?
(Also, blue on red + MSPaint + JPEG = utter fail.)

A helpful response might be better, but anyway... I found the main problem. You have to call SetWindowPos() with the SWP_FRAMECHANGED flag after switching titlebars on/off/toolwindow-style. But still, the window doesn't show up in the taskbar at first, despite what MSDN says:
WS_EX_APPWINDOW
Forces a top-level window onto the taskbar when the window is visible.
It's visible, and has this style, but doesn't show up on the taskbar until it gets focus. (In fact, it has focus when it's first created, and has to lose it and gain it again.) It stays there afterward, though. (This one probably is a Windows bug. )

[edit/bump] OK, here's another one. How do I put Unicode text in a title bar? I see if I put Chinese characters ("日本語") in a filename and open it with Notepad, they show up just fine in the taskbar and titlebar. Putting that text in a text file and saving it as Unicode, the result in a hex editor is \xFF\xFE\xE5\x65\x2C\x67\x9E\x8A. I can pass that to TextOutW() and it works fine, but passing it to SetWindowTextW() or as a parameter to WM_SETTEXT gets me question marks or gibberish.

Could it be related to the font you are using to render the titlebar title? Unless it is font that contains unicode in it (i.e. Arial Unicode or MSGothic), something like Tahoma or Verdana is going to choke I believe.

Have you tried the UTF-8 version of that? Dunno if it'll work though... 0xE6 0x97 0xA5 0xE6 0x9C 0xAC 0xE8 0xAA 0x9E

Else you might as well keep reading MSDN.

Unicode? Hmm... If UTF-8 doesn't work (since that's what I would try), then try \x65\xE5\x67\x2C\x8A\x9E. If it still doesn't work, try \xFE\xFF\x65\xE5\x67\x2C\x8A\x9E.

No, then I wouldn't be able to see how pointlessly difficult it is to program Windows apps.

What encoding is that? Also your second one is the same that HH tried at first.

It's the same font every title bar uses, and Notepad is doing it fine.

What? Because I wrote "Japanese" using Chinese characters?

Except for the byte order.

Nope, both gibberish (using WM_SETTEXT) or question marks (using SetWindowTextW()). Same with UTF-8 (which Windows doesn't seem to use anywhere else).

Perhaps, you need to add extra logic to switch the font to the appropriate language? On my computer, Trebuchet MS doesn't have CJK characters while MSGothic does. So, I think that is what notepad is doing, it has sometype of character detection scheme in it.

I don't think Windows even has that feature.

I doubt using non-latin characters is a big deal. If even Notepad can do it...
