[simmeone]

Hi there,,

how I can give an Button and his text an other color, for exampel, the main-window have an white background and there is an button of this window. This button should get the color "blue" and the text inside for example "red". How I can do it in the Win32 API not MFC !!

Thank You very much.

Hi palbano,

that's a very good link but you give me a lot of hard work, now I have to puzzle this into the Win32 API. But thank you very much.
It seems, that this problem, to give buttons and texts other colors is not so trivial.

Oki dok.

Dear SiM,

There is a reason for that. The Windows OS is designed for users to control the look and feel of their environment. Changing colors in your application for things like text boxes, buttons and dialogs violates the Windows User Interface Guidelines and will wrest control of the look and feel away from the user of your application.

This site has funky buttons, statis labels, lists, and basically everything.
