Having color in a Dialog box

[billhsln]

I know how to change the color of items in a dialog box, but how do I set the background to black of the main dialog or of a Group Box within the Dialog.  I would prefer to have a black background with a light blue (cyan) foreground for everything within the Dialog.  All I am looking for is the commands that will allow me to do that.

Thanks,
Bill

if I remember correctly the only way you can "change" the color of a dialog is to open a childwindow(with no caption) the size of the dialog's client area and set it's color.

I almost remembered correctly.
It's not a window that you have to use but a static control the size of the dialog.

Searching the forum the issue was covered here with an example.

Thanks, Larry and peaslee.  Doing the Edit control over the top works exactly as what I am looking for.

Now I can continue on.
