Palette colors in VB5 NT4 question

Hi,
I'm trying to change my application colors (which has no graphics). I first tried by changing object
colors with object.background=value, but I have lots of objects on each windows, so it's becomming
a real mess, and the windows is repainted when object color change.
So I want to modify the palette, and found information about SelectPalette, RealizePalette but it seems to be for Windows 3.1 (in C). Is it the same on windows NT 4 ? Can someone send me a VB5 exemple to modify the palette? Thank you,

Frederic
