childwindow

I'm creating a child window within the main window. I assigned these styles to the child window:

WS_CHILDWINDOW | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | WS_SIZEBOX | WS_CAPTION

The child window I get has a caption and a resizable border. However there's no close button in the caption, and the caption/border of the child window is not transparent (I'm using the aero theme in windows 7).

How to add close button to the caption? How can I make the caption/border transparent?
