Stick-pin in modeless property-sheet

In the spirit of "doing like Developer Studio", I'd like to find out how to 
implement a "stick-pin" as is used in the "Properties" dialog in MSVC.

If I remember correctly, once upon a time it was actually *incide* the title 
bar (which was nice), but at the top of the sheet (above the tabs) will do 
nicely.

While we're at it, how about the "?" button next to it (*not* in the title bar)?

I could *probably* work out how to do it, but hopefully someone else already 
has, and anyway, it would be nice to have the solution posted up on mfc-l.

I've done it using a toolbar, with a non-existent menu.  You can change   
the up/down images for a toolbar, and as a bnous you get tool-tips etc.

There is an article in Windows Developer's Journal, January 1996 which   
presents classes to reproduce pinnable functionality like VC++. I haven't   
used the code myself, but it doesn't describe how to draw the pin bitmap   
outside the tabs, which is probably your main concern.

The source code accompanying the article is available at   
http://www.wdj.com/source.htm
