CreateWindow() Question
My companies software is using...
CreateWindow(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW);
...to create a window that needs to float to other monitors. However, WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW does not provide Minimize and Maximize buttons, nor does it allow the window to be shown when hovering over our program in the Windows Taskbar. What window style could we use instead of WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW that would allow for the window to float and maintain these other missing features?

Using the pipe character ( | ) you should be able to add several window styles to your function. That being said, you can find what styles suit you the best here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632600%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
That is not the case for this particular Window style which is why I am looking for a suggestion for another. Take a look at this screenshot of the page you referenced:
