Newby question:How do you set the Application background color?

[joelwenzel]

Hello,

I need to set the background color of an activeX control I am making to white.

I've tried running SetDialogBkColor(RGB(255,255,255)) in the BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance() method but nothing happens. I'm sure there is a simple solution that I am missing.

I think you try to do that onb no window. CWinApp is no window, it is just the application.

I don't understand what you mean.

There is nothing special to understand. Let's try to say it again:
You try to set the background on a nonwindow object and/or while no windows are created.
