I accepted your answer just now. It's not quite what I wanted but it in the end I did ask for perspective :)
I ended up setting max width for window and win 10's snapping features make the windows perfectly aligned - I guess I'll still implement hiding/showing up in sync with other window but that's just about it. It ain't 1 window but doesn't feel hacky and is reliable ;)

Thanks for your input on the matter. I hope there's someone who has encountered the same problem - if not I guess I'm off to my original way of doing things...

Well, you've made your point of it being silly, but the question remains if it's possible to parent/child and remove border of another window. Which I think IS a valid question.
I think I just might do it the wrong way, and someone more familiar with winapi could help. In the end they did include those commands in the first place, and I don't see anywhere them being deprecated or obsolete (altough their absence from .NET says something).
Maybe the answer is that Win10 simply doesn't support these functions - but if that's the case I would want to see some sort of statement/smh from Microsoft about the matter (I'm however not sure if such a comprehensive changelog exists)...

Normally I would totally agree that programs simply shouldn't do such things, but since this is for myself and not a work I'm going to publish anywhere I feel such abuse is okay ;).
In addition I'm simply interested what can be accomplished...
