Hello Anserkk,
I not feel certain, if that is, what You want to do.
Drawing Your own Dialog-Header ?
Instead of text, You can use BMP's as well for the Buttons.

Dear Mr.Uwe,
I want my Dialog to have the standard Minimize,Restore/Maximize and Close Button (similiar to the one when we use DEFINE WINDOW) and not the one which you have shown on the picture. My intention is that my user should be able to minimize my dialog.
From the picture which u have displayed, I understand that we can keep pictures and give fuctionalities similiar to Minimize and Maxmize, but the problem is that I am in a tight time schedule and have to give the app to my user within an hours time from now. It is already 5:33 pm here.
If I use window instead of a Dialog then the whole layout of the controls are scrambled as you know Dialog and Window uses different matrix
I tried the following, but did not work
Thanks & Regards

I tried the following, but did not work
*nStyle:=(WS_MINIMIZEBOX + WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) // did not work
nStyle:=nOR(WS_MINIMIZEBOX + WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) // did not work
nStyle:=nOR(WS_MINIMIZEBOX , WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) // did not work
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg TITLE "My Dialog " FROM 1,1 to 35,95 TRANSPARENT STYLE nStyleThanks & Regards

In my example above I used this syntax without problems :
( tested inside a resource and copied from there using STYLE with Resource-Syntax )
// ( example : no Dialog-Title )
// ----------------------------------
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 400, 290 TRANSPARENT PIXEL ;
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_DLGFRAME
// ( example : Window-Style )
// --------------------------------
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | ;
WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
