How to Stop C/C++ WINAPI Window Showing on all Desktops? - c++

Question

I am writing a C/C++ windows app which calls CreateWindow as follows:
HWND hWnd = CreateWindow(pszClassName, title_.c_str(), WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_VISIBLE | WS_POPUP | WS_SIZEBOX, 50, 50, 400, 100, NULL, NULL, hInst, this);
Nothing particularly complex about it, however, it is appearing on every desktop on my computer when I switch from one desktop to another with CTRL-WIN < or >.
How do you make window you create in an app remain only on the desktop that you created it on?
I am compiling this app in 64bit and running it on Windows 10.

Code:
Global:
WNDCLASSEX wc;
Window procedure:
case WM_KEYDOWN:
if(wParam == VK_F11)
{
wc.style = HWND_DESKTOP;//The window is child
//of desktop
}
break;
WinMain:
LPCSTR windowName = "Answer on StackOwerflow";
MSG messages;
wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
wc.style = 0;
wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
wc.hInstance = hInstance;
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
wc.lpszMenuName = NULL;
wc.lpszClassName = "The classname";
wc.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
hWnd = CreateWindowEx(
WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
wc.lpszClassName,
windowName,
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 120,
NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
ShowWindow(hWnd);
UpdateWindow(hWnd);
while(GetMessage(&messages, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
{
TranslateMessage(&messages);
DispatchMessage(&messages);
}
return 0;
