You can handle WM_CTLCOLORDLG and return the appropriate brush. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends. Re: setting background color of the dialog Nishad S26-Feb-09 0:41 Nishad S 26-Feb-09 0:41  Another approach than the other reply. You can map WM_ERASEBKGND and write like... BOOL CMyDlg::OnEraseBkGnd( CDC* pDC ) { CRect rect; GetClientRect( &rect ); pDC->FillSolidRect( &rect, m_clrBK ); } You can set the m_clrBK where ever you needed and call Inbvalidate( TRUE ); to update the background. - ns ami - Re: setting background color of the dialog Code-o-mat26-Feb-09 1:11 Code-o-mat 26-Feb-09 1:11  You can also use RedrawWindow[^]. > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > Life: great graphics, but the gameplay sux. < Re: setting background color of the dialog Chandrasekharan P26-Feb-09 1:25 Chandrasekharan P 26-Feb-09 1:25  This link may be useful for you http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0wwk06hc(VS.80).aspx[^] Re: setting background color of the dialog Hamid_RT26-Feb-09 6:09 Hamid_RT 26-Feb-09 6:09  Did you handle WM_CTLCOLOR and you need to declare a COLORREF variable and use it on this event with SetBKColor.

I have statically linked to MFC. My question is whether this application will run fine on 64bit XP/Vista? Re: Will 32 bit app run on 64 bit OS «_Superman_»25-Feb-09 23:21 «_Superman_» 25-Feb-09 23:21  It will if you have all the necessary dependencies. 32-bit apps run in the WOW64 shell under 64-bit OSs «_Superman_» I love work.

Thanks for reply Re: Will 32 bit app run on 64 bit OS «_Superman_»25-Feb-09 23:28 «_Superman_» 25-Feb-09 23:28  If the app runs fine on a 32-bit OS, it is guaranteed to run fine as it is (most of the time) on a 64-bit OS. The app. would still be running as a 32-bit application. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends. Re: Will 32 bit app run on 64 bit OS VC++Maniac26-Feb-09 0:33 VC++Maniac 26-Feb-09 0:33  Unfortunately my application crashes on 64 bit OS. Guess I'll have to debug on a 64 bit to find the problem. Anyways thanks for the replies. Re: Will 32 bit app run on 64 bit OS Hamid_RT26-Feb-09 6:08 Hamid_RT 26-Feb-09 6:08  See How to: Configure Visual C++ Projects to Target 64-Bit Platforms[^].

And there's no font property of the menu resource type. You'll have to do some owner-draw menu stuff, which can be painful. Luckily, there are several good articles on codeproject that can help. I did think that you could change the menu font using SystemParametersInfo temporarily, but that is (a) fragile, and (b) might change the font the menu bar at the top of all the window... so not such a good solution, just for a pretty menu. Good luck, you've got a bunch of work ahead of you! Iain. Codeproject MVP for C++, I can't believe it's for my lounge posts...
