SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero) can remove the Icon from XP

At first I found this didn’t work.
But then I removed some of the window property settings I had in my xaml.
For example, MaxWidth=400 and WindowStartupLocation=Center, etc.

Then it worked. The icon goes away.
I had to add these settings in my code, after removing the icon.
At at that point, setting WindowStartupLocation was too late… so I had to just reposition the window manually in code.

But in the end, I get the look I want.

Another way is to use an empty icon. This works best when you want a window with no icon and no title because, as the icon is there but only transparent, if you put a title it will not be aligned to the left

I know it’s an ugly way of doing things but it avoids DllImport.

I confirm what Luke said, doesn’t work with the mentioned configuration.
Guess it has something to do with the FW version…but actually i really don’t know.
It’s a shame thought that they didn’t port the ShowIcon property from Win32…

It doesn’t work on Windows XP SP3 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1… Any ideas?

Good trick.
But this only works as long as WPF uses Win32 as host window. If MS goes through with WPF becoming the Win32 replacement this won’t work anymore. But that’s far in the distant future …

I’ll have to take a note of this. I didn’t know it would take this much work to do this in WPF.
