Appending control box

Hello, I send this message to ask if it is possible to append a
control box in the title bar of a window. I've used an ActiveX control
that appends a control box in the title bar and that box works as a
command box. Now I want to do the same thing, anyone know how to do so?
Thank you!

Bruce,

It's possible, but far from easy. You have to catch many of the
WM_NCxxx messages sent to your Form and handle the drawing of the
button yourself. It's nothing I recommend unless you absolutely need
an extra button there.

Hi.

Use a form with a control box and use subclassing to the capture
when the button is pressed.

Once you achive this you can do everything you want.

I can't see how subclassing a form is going to get me a year's vacation in Hawaii!
