Hi there Can anyone advise or point me in the direction of how I can create a windows app but not have the standard window. i.e I want to create a skinned window sort of like when you change windows media player from full mode into skinned mode. I'm familiar enough with creating a standard windows app in C/C++ and the app that I plan to create will also be using DirectX 9. Thanks for your time

This may be what you want, I'm pretty sure WMP doesn't use DirectX 9 for it's skins.

Thanks Mike on a quick glance that looks like the sort of thing I'm after. With regards to the DirectX reference I just meant that I will be doing some DirectX stuff in the app window. Thanks again

For anyone else who wants to do this sort of thing the link Mike2343 pointed to also has a link to this which I'm yet to go through but looks good.
