Is there a way to disable the window menu (restore, move, resize, minimize, maximize, close). I have read in the forum and seen examples of completely removing the title bar icon but I would like to keep the icon but have no menu.

And here is some my playing example:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;~ Const $SC_CLOSE = 0xF060
Const $MF_BYCOMMAND = 0x0
;~ Const $MF_GRAYED = 0x1
;~ Const $WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112

HotKeySet("{F1}", "OnF1")

$gui = GuiCreate("Catch the X Click", 300, 100)
GUISetState()

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "On_WM_SYSCOMMAND")

$hMenu = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "GetSystemMenu", "hwnd", $gui, "int", 0)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_CLOSE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
;~ DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","EnableMenuItem", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_CLOSE, "int", BitOr($MF_BYCOMMAND,$MF_GRAYED))
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_RESTORE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_MOVE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_SIZE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_MINIMIZE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_MAXIMIZE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_SEPARATOR, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)

DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DestroyMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0])
;~ BOOL WINAPI DestroyMenu(  _In_  HMENU hMenu);

;~ $hMenu = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "SetMenu", "hwnd", $gui, "int", 0)
;~ BOOL WINAPI SetMenu(  _In_      HWND hWnd,  _In_opt_  HMENU hMenu);

DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DrawMenuBar", "hwnd", $gui)
;~ BOOL WINAPI DrawMenuBar(  _In_  HWND hWnd);

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

; to disable Alt+F4
Func On_WM_SYSCOMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    If BitAND($wParam, 0xFFF0) = $SC_CLOSE Then Return
EndFunc

Func OnF1()
    Exit
EndFunc

I'm not sure to understand what you need, but try this :

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Local $gui = GUICreate("gui", 160, 35)
Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Hide SysMenu", 5, 5, 150, 25)
Local $iState = 1

GUISetState()

Local $iShowStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($gui, $GWL_STYLE )
Local $iHideStyle = BitXOR($iShowStyle, $WS_SYSMENU)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = -3 Then Exit
    If $msg = $idButton Then
        If $iState Then 
            $iStyle = $iHideStyle
            $sText = "Show SysMenu"
        Else
            $iStyle = $iShowStyle
            $sText = "Hide SysMenu"
        EndIf
        _WinAPI_SetWindowLong($gui, $GWL_STYLE, $iStyle)
        GUICtrlSetData($idButton, $sText)
        $iState = NOT $iState
    EndIf
WEnd

Here is my solution: completely removed system menu but retained system icon

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;~ Const $SC_CLOSE = 0xF060
Const $MF_BYCOMMAND = 0x0
;~ Const $MF_BYPOSITION = 0x00000400

$gui = GuiCreate("Removed system menu", 300, 100)
GUISetState()

$hMenu = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "GetSystemMenu", "hwnd", $gui, "int", 0)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_CLOSE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_RESTORE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_MOVE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_SIZE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_MINIMIZE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_MAXIMIZE, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",$SC_SEPARATOR, "int", $MF_BYCOMMAND)
DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","DeleteMenu", "hwnd", $hMenu[0], "int",0, "int", $MF_BYPOSITION) ; separator

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

Side unwanted effect is that Min/Max/Close icons/buttons in titlebar of window don't work.

Though it's not working. Left click by mouse on system icon opens system menu.

There's a way to fix that.

Change this line in the WM_COMMAND function.

Case $SC_KEYMENU, BitOR($SC_MOUSEMENU, $wParam)

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
