I need help with Win32lib's remove and add style

I've been investigating a rewrite of IDE in an attempt to simplify the code.

I decided to createEx Property, ProjectView and ToolBox as windows with
WS_CHILD. This
makes a lot of the mumbo jumbo of IDE much easier when moving and resizing these
windows.
I thought I could remove the WS_CHILD style when undocking but it appears that
style doesn't
work with removeStyle. Below is what I have done. Have I got it wrong or is
there something
else I should use? If I can not remove the child style then these windows are
stuck inside
the MainWindow client area and that has not traditionally been how IDE works. 

>--property now to be undocked
> addStyle(PropertySheet, {
>        (WS_THICKFRAME+WS_CAPTION+WS_MINIMIZEBOX+WS_SYSMENU+WS_BORDER+
>          WS_DLGFRAME+WS_MAXIMIZEBOX),(0)})
>
> removeStyle(PropertySheet,{(WS_CHILD),(0)})
