i have a modaless dialog as a child window, how do i change the color of the parent window to green instead of white?
# 1 Re: background color
you could try overwriting WM_ERASEBKGNDsomething like
BOOL CTestView::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
CRect rcClient;
GetClientRect( &rcClient );
pDC->FillRect(rcClient, &CBrush(RGB(0,128,0)));
return TRUE;
}
hope this helps

still pepople uses MFC for such small task :(here is a better one
HBRUSH hbrushWindow = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(70,151,232));
case WM_CTLCOLORDLG: // coloring the window
{
return (LONG)hbrushWindow; // with the handle we set (color)
}
