SYMPTOMS
Windows created with the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, WS_CAPTION, and WS_SYSMENU styles have system menus, but they do not display an icon for the system menu on the caption bar.

RESOLUTION
You can display the menu by right-clicking the title bar, or by pressing the ALT+SPACEBAR key combination.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
