I am using a CFindReplaceDialog in my application. But, it displays the Context Help icon in the top right. How can I stop displaying this icon?

Can you provide a minimal reproducible sample?
The system provided dialog templates do not have the DS_CONTEXTHELP style. You can see this by looking at the FindText.Dlg file and also by using VS to load the actual dialogs from comdlg32.dll.mui into the resource editor.
Using Win 1022H2 and VS2022 I could not reproduce your issue. The caption of the CFindReplaceDialog window did not contain the ? Help button for context-sensitive help.
I think I have got to the bottom of this. The dialog resources I am using come from a sample application that shows how to use the Scintilla Control.
These are the resources:

As you can see, they both have the DS_CONTEXTHELP reference, which I now understand is a placeholder for the proper context help extended style. I have not compare these versions of the Find /Replace dialogs with the latest default template yet.
I think things will be OK if I remove this reference.
