I might have to use some getproperty() function

CMenu* menu = GetMenu();
MENUINFO mInfo = {0};
mInfo.cbSize  = sizeof(MENUINFO);
mInfo.fMask   = MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS | MIM_BACKGROUND;
mInfo.hbrBack = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0, 255, 0));
menu->SetMenuInfo(&mInfo);

ON_MESSAGE(WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC, &CMyDlg::OnCtlColorStatic)
...
LRESULT CMyDlg::OnCtlColorStatic(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    HDC hDC = (HDC)wParam;
    //HWND hWnd = (HWND)lParam;

    LRESULT ret = Default();

    ::SetTextColor(hDC, RGB(0xFF,0x00,0x00)); // text color bright red

    return ret;
}
