In the NoTitle.exe sample, when the window has a caption and the user selects NoTitle from the main menu, the caption is removed. When the user double- clicks the window without a caption by using the left mouse button, the caption is added to the window.

NoTitle.exe removes the caption by performing the following five steps:

1. Removes the menu from the window by calling the SetMenu() function 

   with NULL as the hMenu parameter.
2. Retrieves the current window style by calling GetWindowLong with 
   GWL_STYLE as the nIndex parameter.
3. Removes the caption bit.

4. Calls SetWindowLong() with GWL_STYLE to change the style of the 

   window.
5. Calls InvalidateRect() to instruct the application to redraw the 
   window.
