hello, urm guess you're hardcoding the font change...... just a thought but if you're using an
IDE like radasm - it's simply click on the window description when creating the dialog or window and change the header. ELSE erm..... let's see

invoke SendMessage, MYWINDOWHANDLE, SB_SETTEXT , SBT_OWNERDRAW , PointerTEXT

i think......don't kill me if I'am wrong - never did like hardcoding simple stuff like this
is'nt that what IDE's are for - less work more play !?!

hope you get it

Well, u could get the caption or title bar's dimensions and paint to it in response to the WM_NCPAINT msg, this is the code I use, it draws text to the caption when window is active, for changing the title bar bg or text when the window is inactive similarly process the WM_NCACTIVATE msg..

.ELSEIF uMsg==WM_NCPAINT

invoke GetWindowDC, hWnd
mov edc,eax
invoke GetClientRect, hWnd, ADDR r2

invoke GetSystemMetrics,SM_CXSIZE 
mov xp,eax 
invoke GetSystemMetrics,SM_CXBORDER 
add xp,eax 
invoke GetSystemMetrics,SM_CXFRAME 
mov xf, eax 
add xp,eax 
mov eax,xp 
add eax,1
mov r1.left,eax 
invoke GetSystemMetrics,SM_CYFRAME 
mov yp,eax 
mov r1.top,eax 
mov eax,r2.right 
sub eax,r2.left 
mov r1.right,eax 
invoke GetSystemMetrics,SM_CYSIZE 
add eax,yp
mov r1.bottom,eax 

invoke SetBkMode, edc, TRANSPARENT
invoke SetTextColor, edc, 00F0F00Fh
invoke CreateFont,24,16,0,0,400,0,0,0,OEM_CHARSET,\ 
                                       OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,\ 
                                       DEFAULT_QUALITY,DEFAULT_PITCH or FF_SCRIPT,\ 
                                       ADDR FontName 
mov  hfont,eax 
invoke SelectObject, edc, hfont
invoke DrawText,edc,OFFSET an,-1,ADDR r1,0
invoke SelectObject,edc,hfont
invoke ReleaseDC,hWnd, edc 
ret

Later..  :)
