What?! A window is a GUI regardless of whether you created it or not. Try this.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$hMyWin = WinGetHandle("My window title")
GUISetStyle($WS_POPUP, -1, $hMyWin)

Perhaps a little more info of what you're trying to do would help. Are you saying a window exists, but is not visible? Just a little confused as to what you mean by set a style on a window that is not a gui.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Const $GWL_STYLE = -16

$hWnd = WinGetHandle('your title')
$oldStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE)
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE, BitOR($oldStyle, $WS_POPUP))

Nope

Still not working...

what I am trying to do is set to $WS_POPUP all the windows belonging to IMWindowClass Class (It's Windows Live Messenger's chat window) but I can't get it working...

this is my code...

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Const $GWL_STYLE = -16
$class="[CLASS:IMWindowClass]"
$hWnd = WinGetHandle($class)
$oldStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE)
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE, BitOR($oldStyle, $WS_POPUP))

Try to play with another styles - if it works with some of them.

Also look here at another example using my method:
