Custom caption on form title bar

[eljainc]

Hello,

I would like my program to display the caption on the form (top of form
on title bar) in a different font. I would ideally like to have one
part of the form caption in one font, and another part in a standard
(i.e. Arial) font. How do I go about doing this? It is probably an
an override of the standard form or a custom draw routine for the
caption.

You need to override WndProc and handle the WM_NCPAINT message.
