I have set the ownerdraw property to true.
Then I tried with SetBkColor in DrawItem function, but how can I get the hwnd argument?

# 1 Re: Background color of CButton
here is Something through which you can get the handle of your button..CButton *pButton;
pButton= (CButton *) GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON);
and for changing Button color n no of examples are present on Code guru just Search for them
Thanx

sorry I didnt mean hwnd, I meant HDC.The setBkColor is defined like this;
COLORREF SetBkColor(HDC hdc, COLORREF color)
I try to invoke this method in DrawItem method in my CButton. Is this right?
thx.

In addition to cilu's link...You should also look at MSDN to see the example of CButton::DrawItem method: CButton::DrawItem (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y0k9f0a4.aspx)
and DRAWITEMSTRUCT description: DRAWITEMSTRUCT Structure (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/92fhtw0f.aspx)
