I' writing a simple formview application — Just a few edit controls, static controls and buttons in the main view. I want the backround color of the main client area to be gray (RGB(192,192,192)) — by default it comes up white. I looked at CWinApp::SetDialogBkColor but that only affects dialogs and not the main view. I also tried a CDC::FillRect with the CBrush* set to RGB(192,192,192). That works find except the static edit controls stick out with black text on a white backround, I want them to be black text on a gray backround. I suspect the answer lies in CDC::SetBkColor but I don't know where to call it from. I tried calling it from OnDraw, OnPaint and OnInitialUpdate, but with no success. Help! -Brad.
