That is not correct.  You should be adding the style to the WindowClass
member instead, ie:

    Params.WindowClass.style |= CS_DROPSHADOW;

You already know the answer to that - call SystemParametersInfo() with the
uiAction set to SPI_SETDROPSHADOW and the pvParam set to TRUE.

> How can I toggle shadows in my forms by code?

Simple store a flag somewhere that indicates whether the shadow should be
applied or not, and then have CreateParams() access that flag when deciding
whether to apply or remove the CS_DROPSHADOW style.  Then just call the
form's RecreateWnd() method whenever you change the value of the flag after
it has been set the first time.
