HBRUSH CCHXServerConfig::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
switch(nCtlColor)
{
case CTLCOLOR_LISTBOX:
case CTLCOLOR_EDIT:
// Set color to green on black and return the backgroundbrush.
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0, 255, 0));
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(96, 96, 96));
return (HBRUSH)(m_pEditBackgroundColor->GetSafeHandle());
case CTLCOLOR_STATIC:
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(192, 192, 128));
return (HBRUSH)(m_pDialogColor->GetSafeHandle());
case CTLCOLOR_BTN:
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(192, 192, 128));
return (HBRUSH)(m_pButtoncolor->GetSafeHandle());
case CTLCOLOR_DLG:

Sounds to me like you should do owner draw for your radio buttons. That means handling owner draw and measure item messages.

ok.. but i use the dialog boxes editor...
and in the properties of the controls i dont have
owner draw option...
so how do i handle this??
