This was discussed some time ago on the list. What we figured out then was 
that creating a window with a -parent => $winParent will make the new 
window a child window. It will stay on top of the parent window and it will 
not be displayed in the task bar.

I'm not sure how to do it without having a window already, but maybe it's 
possible to make it a child of e.g. the desktop hwind or something else. 
Just a thought.


BTW, how did you go about for getting a toolbar-esque window? Because 
that's something I'm doing right now :)  My current solution is to create a 
window like this:

         $hOption{-style} =
                         0x00C00000 |            #WS_CAPTION
                         0x80000000 |            #WS_POPUP
                         0x00800000 |            #WS_BORDER
                         0;
         Win32::GUI::Window->new(%hOption);
