After a few comments I made about custom dialogs, I decided to give it the old college try and replace an ugly series of dialogs with one totally custom dialog I created from scratch.

The dialog loads up great, and all the controls work a treat, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a different Title and Message into this dialog!  Furthermore, the titlebar is not honouring my standard setting of "@TITLE_CAPTIONBAR".  It is honouring a custom bitmap via DialogSetInfo().

I've fooled around a bit with the resource ID of the dialog header, but I'm not getting anywhere.  Anybody have a clue?

I must enjoy answering my own posts.

Custom dialogs works like a charm if I'd bothered to RTFM.

1. SetTitle() works fine.  I was testing from OnBegin(), so my standard SetTitle() wasn't invoked yet.

2. You ned to call SdSetDlgTitle() with the right window handle you get from CmdGetHwndDlg() inside DLG_INIT

I got (2) right from an archived newsletter from this very site.  Had to Google to find it, though.

Look at me!  I've gone custom!

Congratulations!  You should pat yourself on the back.  Seriously.
