Dear fellow programmers!!! I am wondering how you can replace or alter existing controls like the scrollbar or the system menu or the titlebar? Let say i would like to add a button to the titlebar or an element to the system menu or paint stripes on all controls? Okey, i know how to do this in my own application, but not throughout the whole system. What i would like is that all programs on my computer get that extra alternative in its system menu, get that extra button on its title bar and get those stripes (for example). So how would one go about to achive this? com objects, hooks, services... i read somwhere about remote hooks that listen through the system, maybe it can be solved that way? Any ideas, links or tutorials are appreciated!! // Peter...
