Minimize Icon, Maximize icon?

Not easy one. You have to drow it by your own in the WM_NCPAINT message.

case WM_NCPAINT:
{   HDC hdc;
    hdc = GetDCEx(hwnd, (HRGN)wParam, DCX_WINDOW|DCX_INTERSECTRGN);
    // Paint your pictures
    ReleaseDC(hwnd, hdc);
}

say, i manage to draw over the current icons, will that particular spot respond to my mouse click?
let say I shift my minimize and maximize icons to the centre of the title bar, how do i handle the message of the mouse click?

I have add 3 window messages into my mainframe, OnNcPaint(), OnNcActivate(), OnNcLButtonDown().
SOme of codes in my OnNcLButtonDown()
{
CRect rect;
// Get the button position
GetButtonRect(&rect);
if (rect.PtInRect(point))
{
drawButton();
CFrameWnd::OnNcLButtonDown();
....
}
....
}

It seems that the CFrameWnd::OnNCLButtonDown will override my graphic display of my drawButton(). How do I turn off the graphical display of the minimize, maximize and close button. THanks.

When dealing with the titlebar, it's either all or nothing. If you want to do something, you have to handle everything, and not pass anything to the base class (or ::DefWindowProc).

Thanks for the advice. I guess there's no easy way out. I will study the codes that you have provided and paint my own title bar.
