In general terms:

   Subclass the frame's window procedure.  In your subclassed windowproc,
   process the WM_QUERYFRAMECTLCOUNT message by returning the value you
   get from calling the frame's default windowproc plus the number (n) of
   controls you want to add.

   Process the WM_FORMATFRAME message by calling the frame's default
   windowproc, and you'll get back an array of SWP structures equivalent
   to the value you returned for WM_QUERYFRAMECTLCOUNT.  The last n are
   for the ones you added, and are there for formatting the controls you
   want to add.  You can find the window handle for the title bar and
   shrink the size as needed.  For your controls, put in appropriate
   formatting information as well as the desired window handle (which
   you've already created).

Look at the WM_FORMATFRAME documentation if anything's not clear.
