I can use SetWindowText("Tony"); to set the title of dialog box, I want to change the background colour, as a status indicator... Any Ideas how to do that ??
TIA Tony

It's not simple. You handle the WM_NCPAINT message and paint the entire titlebar yourself, and handle WM_ACTIVATE to emulate the color change that happens when the window gets/loses focus.
