    You need to do a few things. Capture WM_NCPAINT, WM_SETTEXT, WM_SYSCOMMAND and WM_NCACTIVATE. These messages all rewrite the caption to the window.

    Refer to the Microsoft article Q99046. This describes in detail what to do when you retrieve these messages. I believe the article can be found at www.microsoft.com, or in any MSDN on-line help (including the help that comes with VC 6).

    Regards,

    Paul McKenzie

    In addition to what Paul said, there is an article on this site about painting
    a gradient-shaded caption bar at http://www.codeguru.com/misc/GradientCap.shtml
    Obviously, you can revise the caption painting to suit your needs.
