How to change Group box background color???

[Naveen]

overide the WM_CTLCOLOR message and put the following code inside it if( nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC) { pDC->SetBkMode( TRANSPARENT ); } this make the text backGround transparent. To change the color use pDC->SetBkColor( RGB(0,255,0)); instead of SetBkMode nave

Groupbox is not a static control but a button control with style BS_GROUPBOX.

It's the button style, but its CTLCOLOR classification is CTLCOLOR_STATIC not CTLCOLOR_BTN It seems that what naveen said was correct. SaRath.
