Setting form view background color

[MinnisotaFreezing]

Hey guys, real quick question, how do I change the backgound color when I choose CFormView as my base class? Also, how can I change the color of any control, like a static text or list box? Can I? I can change the background color of my text, but not my default view, it is just boring gray. Thanks,

CJB

The way I found was to edit the "OnCtlColor" of my view in the following way:

HBRUSH CMyClassView::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
// this is what was there before:
//HBRUSH hbr = CFormView::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
//And now my code:
CBrush brush;
brush.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0, 128, 0));
// TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired
return brush;
// return NULL;
}

That way my background was a somewhat dark green. However, I *think* it worked only in win 9x, not win NT (it has been a while since I tested my program on windows NT). Can anyone confirm that? And maybe provide a way around that problem?
