Hello.

Unless I incorporate "Windows XP Visual Style" ....
Will not some functions of Prof-UIS be usable?

In addition, I do not understand embodiment of "Windows XP Visual Style" well.

We are ready to improve Prof-UIS APIs for you. But we implement the custom window non-client area only in Office 2007 and ProfSkin paint managers. This is only one case you need to code your custom caption button support. The Windows 2000 and Windows XP non client areas look differently and they should be assumed as other two cases. The window non-client area Windows Vista is provided by DWM subsystem (desktop window manager) and minimize/maximize/close buttons are organized into one group there. We are not sure if embedding additional buttons on Windows Vista is a good idea. If you are using custom caption buttons only in one application only, then it’s much easier to code it in one case: the skinned Office 2007 captions only and show these captions on all Windows OS versions.
