Title Bar Color

Can any one tell me how to change the title bar color??????????

if you want to change the title bar of all the windows in the system you should use the ::SetSysColors(..) api with COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION parameter and the desired color
here is the link

if you want to change color caption only for your window then you have to intercept the WM_NCPAINT and in there paint the title bar yourself..

This article http://www.codeproject.com/gdi/customcaption.asp

shows how to change colours / caption styles although it may be slightly outdated for XP

I tried with COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION option. it is not working. please give me some more details

its sure working mate :)

Code:

---

COLORREF NewColor = RGB(255, 0, 0); 
int  flag = COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION;
::SetSysColors(1, &flag, &NewColor);
