I want to create a static control that functions as a color selector. I am not having any problem using the common dialog to select a color, but I would like the color of the static control to change to whatever was selected. I scoured the web and this forum for answers, but the only thing I came up with was incomplete examples for MFC. If anyone can tell me how I can change the background color of a static control without using MFC, I would really appreciate it.
