color edit control's scroll bar

I have a multiline richedit control with it's background set to black when the scrollbar appears it's blue(xp) and it kind of looks odd. Is there anyway to change this color?
i know of the WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR message but child scrollbars don't recieve this message.
thanks

The remarks at the bottom of msdn's WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR message suggest you use flat scroll bars. For colour changes, FlatSB_SetScrollProp looks a likely candidate.

i tried:

Code:

---

        if(InitializeFlatSB(richedit1) == 0)
        {
                MessageBox(0,"InitializeFlatSB() failed","",0);
        }
        if(FlatSB_SetScrollProp(richedit1,WSB_PROP_VBKGCOLOR,(INT_PTR)RGB(0,0,0),true) == 0)
        {
                MessageBox(0,"setting color failed","",0);
        }

---

FlatSB_SetScrollProp(richedit1,WSB_PROP_VBKGCOLOR, (INT_PTR)RGB(0,0,0),true) fails every time

Have you #included <commctrl.h> and linked with comctl32.lib?
Does FlatSB_SetScrollProp always return 0 (if not, have you called FlatSB_ShowScrollBar to display the scrollbar)?

i have included <commctrl.h> and linked with comctl32.lib.

Code:

---

InitializeFlatSB(richedit1);
FlatSB_ShowScrollBar(richedit1,SB_VERT,true);
FlatSB_SetScrollProp(richedit1,WSB_PROP_VBKGCOLOR,(INT_PTR)RGB(0,0,0),true);

this shows the scrollbar when it's called, but doesn't change the color.
