Changing background color...

[Chris]

how about this?

HBRUSH    hBrush1=NULL;

LRESULT CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (message) 
    {
        case WM_INITDIALOG:
            // Create a red color solid brush for the dialouge use
            hBrush1 = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255, 0, 0));
            return true;
        case WM_CTLCOLORDLG:
            // Change the dialog box background color
            // Ref.
            // wParam - handle to DC (HDC)
            // lParam - handle to dialog box (HWND)

            // Return the new craeted brush
            return (long)hBrush1;
        case WM_CLOSE:
        case WM_DESTROY:
            // Destroy the created brush
            DeleteObject(hBrush1);
            //
            PostQuitMessage(0);
            break;
   }
   return 0;
}
