Hi, Im working on an accessibility application. I am using visual C++ with mfc in visualstudio2008.

In windows vista, if you right click on desktop >> go to colors and appearance >> click "Advanced...", you reach an 'appearance settings dialog box where you can change the colors of anything in windows. Windows xp also had this app, i think you right click on desktop, choose backgrounds, and then go to the appearances tab and click advanced (or something like that).

Here you can change color of title bars, menus etc. You will notice in this dialog box there is a view, and in this view are a few little windows. As you choose different colors from the options, the view updates to reflect the changes. So if you, say, change the title bars to red, then in the little view the title bar of the windows will turn red.

My question is how do you simulate this behavior in your own app. My app too has similar features by which the user can change some colors, and i want to have that same sort of view in it so the user can see what a change looks like. Is it possible to make a little view box with some windows inside the way microsoft has done there?

Note, I am already aware of how to use setsyscolor function to make system colors change. What I want is to simulate that view microsoft has over there so my app is as easy to use as the default one in windows.

In addition, is there some way to simply open that 'appearance settings' dialog box from within my own app? I might just opt for that if it seems like the best option..
