Hiding application menu at runtime??

[C++ Programming]

Hello,

Is there a way to hide applicaiton menu at runtime? I would like to hide the menu once everything is loaded and once the application starts running. The application is written in vc++ 6.0 and the window is created using CreateWindowEx, I tried different dlg_styles options to hide it, but it still shows the menu.

Any suggestions??

thanks,
