m_wndOptionBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_TOP);
DockPane(&m_wndOptionBar);

If you go over all Windows styles[^], and Extended Windows Styles[^], you should find the answer.

Also you can remove the close button using the following code (assuming you get a handle to hwnd):

HMENU hMenu = GetSystemMenu( hWnd, 0 ); 
int nNbItems = GetMenuItemCount(hMenu); 
m_wndOptionBar.RemoveMenu(hMenu, nNbItems - 1, MF_BYPOSITION); 
m_wndOptionBar.RemoveMenu(hMenu, nNbItems - 2, MF_BYPOSITION);
