hi ,Pallini

I used that method but nothing happens

HBRUSH CTempDetDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{

HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()==IDC_STA1) //group box's id
{

pDC->SetBkColor(BLACK);//
pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
hbr = (HBRUSH)m_brush;
}

return hbr;
}
CBrush m_brush;
m_brush.CreateSolidBrush(BLACK);

it didn't work

BTW, i already set the background color of dialog in
BOOL CTempDetApp::InitInstance()

SetDialogBkColor(RGB(0xF0,0xFF,0xFF),RGB(0x00,0x00,0x00));

it works, now i want to set group box's background color

Solution 1

Override the OnCtlColor method of your dialog box, see, for instance, an example here [^].
