change background color of dialog

[zhiyuan16]

thanks Malli i want to confirm i just wanna change my CMeiTengDlg background color, what mentioned above is CMyDlg, CAboutDlg, so i no need to add one class, right? so i followed your idea, but after compiled, one error is c:\documents and settings\zhiyuan li\desktop\meiteng\meiteng\meitengdlg.cpp(163) : error C4716: 'CMeiTengDlg::DistroyWindow' : must return a value Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\ZhiYuan Li\Desktop\MeiTeng\MeiTeng\Debug\BuildLog.htm" MeiTeng - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) by the way,could i get your email, and keep in touch. thanks.

Sorry Zhiyuan16, I forgot to replace the CMyDls with your dialog class name. And you should return value from DestroyWindow function. I had deleted rest of the code (and put ....) considering you'd put the required one. For details have a look at here[^]

thanks Malli comiling had no problem, but still no color change of background after i chose different color. where is problem, Malli? thanks

[zhiyuan16]

dear Malli could you help me to check is it right below: thanks a lot BOOL CMeiTengDlg::OnDestroyWindow() { //delete it while distroying the dialog. m_objMyBrush.DeleteObject(); return TRUE; } HBRUSH CMeiTengDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { return m_objMyBrush; } void CMeiTengDlg::SetBackgroundColor(COLORREF color) { m_objMyBrush.DeleteObject(); m_objMyBrush.CreateSolidBrush( color ); //redraw Invalidate(TRUE); } void CMeiTengDlg::OnBnClickedChangebkcolor() { // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here CColorDialog dlg; if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK) color=dlg.GetColor(); //change my background color of dialog code here SetBackgroundColor(color); }

[Malli_S]

The above code worked for me (only 'color' variable I found missing). Do you have any overlapping control on your dialog ? And I think you should call return CDialog::DestroyWindow(); in your dialog's DistroyWindow();

[Malli_S]

ON_WM_CTLCOLOR() is missing in your message map. I hope you've added OnCtlColor handler manually.
