Is there a way to change the background color of a groupbox? Thanks,:rose: waxie

Since groupboxes are also buttons, I guess you have to owner draw(not me ;P) them.

No. Take a look at BS_GROUPBOX.

It happens... MSDN about group box: The control is created as a BUTTON class with the BS_GROUPBOX, WS_CHILD, and WS_GROUP styles.
