Hi, I want to change the shape and color of a MFC dialog box? Any feedback on this would be appreciated. I know this is probably a very common question, just dont know how to do this. Much appreciated, garyc

A window is always rectangular. Any other shape can be created using a region. There are several functions in GDI that help you create regions - Region Functions[^] Here is a simple example with source code to create a region from a bitmap and apply to a window. Fish Region[^] Background color can be set by handling the WM_CTLCOLORDLG[^] message.

you can add this with ClassWizard,or in the sources code to add it by yourself. just like this: C***Dlg.h
afx\_msg HBRUSH OnCtlColor(CDC\* pDC, CWnd\* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor);C***Dlg.cpp
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP
......
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR()
......
END_MESSAGE_MAP()HBRUSH C***Dlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here switch (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()) { case IDC\_STATIC1: case IDC\_STATIC2: pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0)); break; case IDC\_STATIC3: case IDC\_STATIC4: pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,255)); break; } // TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired return hbr;}
