It is pretty easy:
Create a new class that inherits form CColorDialog (you can do this by
selecting Project->Add Class->MFC Class)
Then overwrite OnInitDialog. After the call to CColorDialog::OnInitDialog
use SetWindowText to set the title.
Now use this new color dialog class instead of CColorDialog.

I am trying to work with the CColorDialog in an MFC app and everything is
going fine, except I would like to change the title of the dialog so that
instead of "Color" I make it say what I want it to say. Seemed easy enough
to do, but no. Not much info on the web unless I am searching for the
wrong kinds of info.

Of course, it derives from CWnd, so I tried SetWindowText(), but that
failed and I assume it is because the handle to the color dialog doesnt
exist until you call DoModal(). Thus the call to setting the window text
fails because there is no window.

So, what are the possibilities here? I'm working with VS 2005 on XP. I
hope I have given enough info to help.

thanks
