How can place in my dialog with Office 2003 style (in blue palette) a slider control? I cannot find any class for it in Prof-UIS. If I use standart CSliderCtrl, it looks grey. I want it to be in the same Office 2003 style as all other controls.

The following class was specially coded for the AdoRecordsetView sample application:

class CInplaceSliderWnd : public CSliderCtrl
{
protected:
virtual LRESULT WindowProc(
    UINT message,
    WPARAM wParam,
    LPARAM lParam
       )
   {
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    if( message == WM_ERASEBKGND )
        return TRUE;
    if( message == WM_NCCALCSIZE )
        return 0L;
    if( message == WM_PAINT )
       {
        CPaintDC dcPaint( this );

                   dcPaint.GetSafeHdc(),
                GetSafeHwnd()
                   );
        CRect rcClient;
        GetClientRect(
               &rcClient
               );
        CExtMemoryDC dc(

               );
        if( g_PaintManager ->
                 GetCb2DbTransparentMode(this)

Is this what you need?
