Remove close button from floating toolbar

The article 'Remove system menu from floating toolbar' by Sushil Saxena shows one way of removing the close button from a toolbar. However, it is not the neatest of solutions to the problem.
This is my solution: It does rely on a little dodge to get a runtime class for an internal MFC class, but apart from that...
First, add some code somewhere, proabably in the cpp file, to get at that class.
// bodge class so we can get at the runtime class for this docked window // helper class (not defined in any MFC header file) class CMiniDockFrameWnd { public: DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CMiniDockFrameWnd) };
Secondly, in the OnSize handler (called every time bar is floated or docked, but not so often as a click) add
// remove the close button on the parent CWnd *pParent = GetParent(); if(pParent) pParent = pParent->GetParent(); if(pParent != NULL && pParent->GetRuntimeClass() == RUNTIME_CLASS(CMiniDockFrameWnd) && pParent->GetStyle() & WS_SYSMENU) { pParent->ModifyStyle(WS_SYSMENU, 0, 0); }
And your toolbar no longer has a close button.
