From time to time the question has been asked on this list about how to
have a Win32::GUI program running, but have no entry in the taskbar.
When hidden and disabled, no entry will appear, but when shown or
enabled, it will come back.
Unless, when you create the window, you use:
-toolwindow => 1,
There is a more complicated solution, involving creating a fake main
window, making a real main window with the fake main window as a parent,
and then deleting the fake main window. This technique also works, but
is much more complex than the option above.
I've tested that option with 0.0.665. I don't think it is available in
0.0.558, although the technique may be available with the right
parameter to -exstyle.
