[Resolved]I don't like the colour Grey

[ISquishWorms]

Hi ALL,

I am looking for some help with the following. I sure hope this is the
right place. :-)

I have used the following code to create myself a STATIC control
only the background of the control is in grey. This would not
normally be a problem I know, but I just don’t like the colour grey
and would prefer if the STATIC control's background could be
red. It was also be nice if I could make that font larger so that I
could put my magnifier away. Any help/solutions to these
problems will be gratefully received.

hwndc = CreateWindowEx(
          NULL,                  /* extended style, not needed */
          "STATIC",              /* class identifier */
          "A CONTROL",           /* window title */
          WS_CHILD | SS_CENTER,  /* parameters */
          0, 0, 264, 30,         /* initial position, size */
          hwnd,                  /* handle to parent */
          NULL,                  /* handle to menu (none) */
          hInstance,             /* application instance handle */
          NULL );                /* who needs it? */

ShowWindow(hwndc, SW_SHOW);

Thanks in advance,
