SetDialogBkColor Deprecated in VC7

[ronnyjljr]

Ok,

How do you set the background of a dialog box in vc7?
Apparently SetDialogBkColor (used in vc6) has been deprecated this time around.

Thanks,
Ron

From the online help for CWinApp::SetDialogBkColor(), there is this explanation:

"To set the background color of the dialog box, you must handle WM_CTLCOLOR. This message changes the color of the specified dialog box only."

Hope that helps!
