Back Color of a Control

[HKothari]

How would I set the back color of a control of a form? I know it's basic, but I don't know.

Its basics is that this is the choice of the user when s/he sets the colors in windows control panel.
Do you want to change the color for every button in every application at once by changing the user's settings, or do you want to have just one application with strange buttons?

Well, no, but in my app, the colors of my controls are off, so, like I have a static with a grey bac, and the form is white, and a button is white. etc.

To change the background color of child controls displaying text, pick up the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message. There's some implementation code around the forums here somewhere, and more info on the related messages for other control aspects on MSDN.
