If you can't find that control, Microsoft Systems Journal had
an example in the Jan 1997 C++ Q & A column, called Shadecap.
It's on the MSDN Library CD under Periodicals, MSJ,
vol 12 number1. Note, SDI and MDI apps require different handling;
it's covered in a follow up C++ Q & A column in the June issue,
also on CD.
