Override OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) E.g. #define DLG_BACK_COLOR RGB(255,0,0) BOOL CYourDlg::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) { CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); CBrush brush(DLG_BACK_COLOR); pDC->FillRect(rect,&brush); return TRUE; } HTH Jetli Constant Thing In World Is Change.

also handle WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC to give static text boxes the same background color -- Look straight into the light!

Handle WM_CTLCOLOR message in your Dialog to paint dialog with color of your choice
