    Is there a color chart somewhere that shows the RGB numbers for different dialog control colors?

    Thanks.

    I usually grab a screenshot with Alt+PrntScrn, paste it into Paint, use the color picker to grab the color, then go to Colors/Edit Colors to get the RGB values. You could probably also write a very simple utility that uses a global hook on WM_MOUSEMOVE, get the pixel position of the mouse with GetCursorPos(), then GetPixel() on the device context of the screen via GetDC(GetDesktopWindow()) ... but that's something of a drastic step
    But... but... I'll set the building on fire.

    How many keys do YOU press?

    What are you trying to achieve? If you want to know the
    standard system colors then use GetSysColor
    Wakeup in the morning and kick the day in the teeth!! Or something like that.
