How do we add color to a button?

Hi, How do we change the color of the button? Thanks, Wax:rose:

You will need to implement an ownerdrawn button, if you need to change the appearance such as the face colour. Try one of the many button controls[^] thats here at CodeProject.

Handle the WM_CTLCOLORBTN notification message in the parent window of the button. Steve

This won't work.

I tried it just then and you are correct, it doesn't work. A more careful read of the documentation (as you often find yourself doing when stuff won't work) reveals the following: "only owner-drawn buttons respond to the parent window processing this message". Steve

Even I kept trying for sometime. What puzzles me is that what purpose does it accomplish?
