You cannot do this for a single window.
Title bar size is a global setting which will effect all windows.

For your requirement you will have to do some skinning like custom drawing on the dialog and handle the WM_NCHITTEST message.

All windows in the sense which were not part of application also....?

Is it possible to try with SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS ..

I want to change the titlebar for all DialogBoxes which are in my application.....

Please correct me if im wrong..

What I meant is all Windows on the system.
SystemParametersInfo is also used for system-wide settings.

ya i tried like this..

NONCLIENTMETRICS n;
n.cbSize = sizeof( NONCLIENTMETRICS );
::SystemParametersInfo( SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS) , &n , 0);
n.iCaptionHeight = 28;//where as default value is 25...
::SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS) , &n , SPIF_SENDCHANGE);

it was increasing but when i revert iCaptionHeight to 25...im able to see the change titlebar but captions in the registry were looking weired...so pls let me know if there is any possibility to change the titlebar only in my application

Superman eluded to that here. Basically, you're going to have to draw your own caption.

You can have a wrapper class also with Visual Studio 2003.
(I've tested the following steps with Visual Studio 2005, but I suppose they are the same on your Visual Studio version).

Create a MFC application having care of enabling the ActiveX controls check of the Advanced features tab of the MFC Application Wizard window.
Select Project->Add Class item of Visual Studio Main menu.
Choose the MFC node on the treview in the newly appeared window.
Select MFC Class From ActiveX Control.
Click button Add.
Choose Microsoft Communication Control... in the newly appeared list.
Click button Add.

Did you try using CListCtrl::FindItem[^] to find and CListCtrl::SetItemState[^] to select the items?

I m trying this,but this work on one fixed Listctrl, and find item from first column only .

its not find string from entire list.

Basically i m working on SDI type splitter application,here i m split the view in one row and two column.

for first column i m using TreeView Derived Class,and for second Column i m using FormView Derived Class .

each formview has one ListCtrl where i want to perform find operation.

On Click event of Tree on different Tree Item replace the different Form View in Second column.

Ctrl+F use as shortcut for find.

so whenever i press Ctrl+F the find dialog must appear and find the text that is typed in find dialog in corresponding list where the Ctrl+F pressed.

Please help me for this.

if possible please explain me with any example.

Thanks in advance.

Well, you could try iterating thorough the items of the list control yourself, querying for the strings in the columns and comparing them, so something like this:

for (int row = 0, endRow = the_list.GetItemCount(); row < endRow; row++) //Iterate thorough the rows
{
  for (int col = 0; col < column_count; col++) //Iterate the "columns of this row"
  {
    CString Text;
    Text = the_list.GetItemText(row, col);
    if (Text.CompareNoCase(the_text_to_search_for) == 0)
    { //This "cell" contains the text we are searching for, let's select this row for example
      the_list.SetItemState(row, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);
      break; //break from the column iteration since we already found the string, no need to look for more
    }
  }
}

How about this?

Its nice,only one problem is there how can i use it for full application i mean for all ListCtrl those are used in Application.

and i m using ListCtrl with single selection property so i m not able to show all find item at one time.

-by learning some reusability, you can either make it a method that gets the list control and the string to search for as a parameter and then feed it with all the list controls you want (one-by-one), or maybe create your own list class (which inherits from CListCtrl) and has this method as a member function implemented and use it for all your list controls and call the method when needed.
The number of columns you can either supply as a parameter too or query the list control for its header control (CListCtrl::GetHEaderCtrl[^] and then asking this for its item count[^].

-then don't.
