You can... In your CPropertySheet derived class add the following to the constructor: m_psh.dwFlags |= PSH_USEHICON; m_psh.hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME); This will add the icon for the "System Menu". Then, Add a message handler function for "OnCreate", and add this: ModifyStyle(0, WS_MINIMIZEBOX|WS_SYSMENU); This will add the "Minimize" button to the Non-Client area of the dialog. If you don't want "Maximize". You can add the following to the "OnInitDialog" function in your CPropertySheet class: CMenu *pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE); ASSERT(pSysMenu != NULL); VERIFY(pSysMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_MAXIMIZE, MF_BYCOMMAND)); I've done this in a project, and it works. :) Good Luck, Frank

Maybe you have to take a different approach: you said: >>I need to calculate what items are shown Then you could use this function: int GetTopIndex( ) const; (=The index of the topmost visible item.) Since the listcontrol is owner drawn, you should get a WM_DRAWITEM message. You should make a handler for this and then you can use the GetTopIndex function to get the first visible item.
