Handle the WM_ERASEBKGND message for the dialog. OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) { CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect,RGB(255,0,0)); return TRUE; //return CDialog::OnEraseBkgnd(pDC); } this is this.

Exactly. In the message-map: ON_WM_ERASEBKGND() In the header: afx_msg BOOL OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC); In the implementation: BOOL CWhateverDialog::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) I am about to go eat some cake. Happy birthday to this! this is this.

try this also , see what you get:

CYourDialog::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
return TRUE;
}

I've used this for writing joke programs for my friends sometimes:)
