do a search on the topic : Non-client area painting. This involves
interop...

You can draw directly on the form's title bar by handling the WM_NCPAINT
message in a custom WndProc override. This does not necessarily involve
interop as another poster has suggested.

Ooops, sorry about the misconception. I got confused with my previous
encounter on this non-client painting which involved custom border painting
obtaining graphic objects on WndProc using interop and custom region
handling...

Sorry Mr. Powell...
