Is it possible to turn off the ability to minimise/maximise/shutdown/resise and move windows?

[AdmiralAlkex]

I am making a script that uses Holgers "SetWindowLong and SetParent method" to run a application in my gui and i really need the application to just be there like frozen but still "on" and accepting commands.

So is it like possible to turn off the ability to minimise/maximise/shutdown/resise and move windows??

I've not used the code, so I don't know what problems still remain.
