I think it goes along the lines of ..

// Get current style
LONG dwStyle = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);
// Drop WS_SYSMENU
dwStyle &= ~WS_SYSMENU;
// Apply current style
SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, dwStyle);

and immediately after that, use SetWindowPos() speficying the SWP_FRAMECHANGED flag.

Although, note that this also gets rid of the window's system menu (as implied by the style name).
