change color of application title/caption bar?

[yoink]

Hi everyone,

A customer has asked if I can change a particular application to have a different title bar color (eg red, green) instead of the standard blue that every windows app has.

I've found a few other posts about this same topic, but haven't been able to find a solution yet. I'd prefer to do it myself rather than download any 3rd party components. Can anyone point me to some code that gives an example of how to do this?

Cheers

Andrew

hi,

if you wanna do stuff like that your going to have to 'drop down' to the win32 api or mfc!!

take a look at the tutorials, examples and msg boards here:

in particular, take a look at this article:
