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.

I think this is what you want.

It's in tha Aurora section but should still work.
Thanks, Larry and peaslee. Doing the Edit control over the top works exactly as what I am looking for.
Now I can continue on.
