Creating windows without taskbar buttons or icons

On the Windows operating system, windows created with the types utility or lightweight do not appear on the taskbar. Invisible windows do not appear on the taskbar, either.

Because the initial window is necessarily of type, normal, in order to create an application without any windows appearing in the taskbar, you must either close the inital window or leave it invisible. To close all windows in your application without terminating the application, set the autoExit property of the NativeApplication object to false before closing the last window. To simply prevent the intial window from ever becoming visible, add false to the element of the application descriptor file (and do not set the visible property to true or call the activate() method of the window).
