Custom GUI: Does anyone know how to get rid of the titlebar icon without using -SysMenu or +ToolWindow. I want the components of the titlebar (min button, max button, close button), I just don't want the icon. The system menu is not a requirement.

Thanks in advance for your help.

An ugly workaround is to set your own 16x16 transparent icon ...

.. borrowing a transparent icon from Shell32.dll .. Ugly!

Code:
hModule := DllCall( "GetModuleHandle", Str,"Shell32.dll" )
hIcon := DllCall( "LoadIcon", UInt,hModule, Int,51 )

Gui, +LastFound
SendMessage, 0x80, 0, hIcon   ; Titlebar Icon
; SendMessage, 0x80, 1, hIcon ; Alt+Tab Icon
Gui, Show, w640 h480
Return

GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
 ExitApp

Not bad. You're right, it's a bit on the ugly side because the title is shifted and there is no icon on the taskbar. But as they say, it's better than a kick in the head or a poke in the eye. I'll think on it.

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it!

Can I use a some generic icon with this command above? Or just for a blank?

You may! Setting GUI icons dynamically (taskbar and ALT+TAB list) posted by Chris

On my system (2k sp4) this is a monochrome version of the magnifying glass/file.

There are transparent Icons in other DLL's too and can be discovered with my IconEx v1.0 - Icon Explorer/Extractor
.. and to create a transparent icon from the script is easy too:

Code:
IconDataHex := "28G001G0002GG10001GG008GGGGGGGGGGG000FFFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG"
  . "GG00FFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFGFFFFG"
StringReplace,IconDataHex,IconDataHex,G,0000, All
VarSetCapacity( IconData,( nSize:=StrLen(IconDataHex)//2) )
Loop %nSize% ; MCode by Laszlo Hars: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21172
  NumPut( "0x" . SubStr(IconDataHex,2*A_Index-1,2), IconData, A_Index-1, "Char" )   
hICon := DllCall( "CreateIconFromResourceEx", UInt,&IconData, UInt,0, Int,1, UInt,196608
                , Int,16, Int,16, UInt,0 ), IconDataHex := ""
; www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33955             
Gui, +LastFound
SendMessage, 0x80, 0, hIcon   ; Titlebar Icon
SendMessage, 0x80, 1, hIcon   ; Alt+Tab Icon
Gui, Show, w640 h480
Return

You could also create and load a blank cursor as an icon:

Code:
VarSetCapacity( AndMask, 32*4, 0xFF ), VarSetCapacity( XorMask, 32*4, 0 )
hIcon := DllCall("CreateCursor", Uint,0, Int,0, Int,0, Int,32, Int,32, Uint,&AndMask, Uint,&XorMask )
Gui, +LastFound
SendMessage, 0x80, 0, hIcon   ; Titlebar Icon
SendMessage, 0x80, 1, hIcon   ; Alt+Tab Icon
Gui, Show, w640 h480
Return
