Either use: OnDraw() { CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect,RGB(255,0,0)); } OR: Handle the OnEraseBkGnd(): { CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect,RGB(255,0,0)); return TRUE; } this is this.

The following code is one of the ways... You would have to read the GDI to understand by SetBkColor won't work (you have to define a context first b4 u use it) void CChildView::OnPaint() { CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); //Obtain the height/width of the window CBrush brush = CBrush (RGB (0, 0, 255)); //Create a blue color brush CBrush *pOldBrush = dc.SelectObject(&brush); dc.Rectangle(0, 0, rect.Width(), rect.Height()); //Fill the client area with the blue rect dc.SelectObject(pOldBrush); //restore old brush } (http://www.dvrshark.com)
