Dialog Background Color

Hi,

I have a question on how to color the background of a dialog multiple colors.

Generally, for a single color throughout, I would create a solid brush with the color I desire, then use WM_CTLCOLORDLG to pain the background.

What I am trying to do however, is have multple colors, a section of purple, then a section of yellow, etc.. (rectangles, squares ... )

Would anyone know how to go about implementing that (no MFC of course)..

Thanks

You mean drawing something on the dialog ?

If so then you have to track WM_PAINT event, paint in device context for the dialog. btw function Rectangle is used to create such shapes.
