titlebar text

[Ahmed Kamal Aly]

I have a problem: I want to display the text in the caption bar as three parts. first part will be left aligned, second part is centered and the third part is right aligned using the title bar font and that runs correctly using different windows themes. Thanks for co-operation

1. Intercept the WM_NCPAINT message for the window 2. Get the width and height of the Titlebar: see the GetSystemMetrics() function in MSDN. 3. To draw the text, use DrawText() (MSDN), and use the lpRect member to specify the rect to draw in. You would need to calculate the 3 rects needed yourself. (left,center,right) HTH Bikram Singh

I think the only way you can do that is to owner-draw your window title bar. See here: http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0197/c/c0197.aspx Jens
