How change the menu background color?

[Cris]

Hello, I have to find how change the menu background color (menubar and menuitems), but nothing yet. On true, I want to change my dialog based app background color (I am using SetDialogBkColor() method), but the menu (I have a menu in the dialog too) continue with the default system background color. So, I only want to change the menu background color (same color of my dialog background). Could anybody help me? Thanks, Cris.

... is obsolete.  Handling WM_CTLCOLOR is a better choice into the future. For the menus, maybe take a look at deriving a class from CMenu and making the menu owner drawn. See here[^] for lots of examples. Mark
