    Unhappy Bitmap with a scroll bar

    Hi

    I have a problem I can't think through.
    If there are one bitmap and one scroll bar, how can I change the bitmap color by moving the scroll bar.

    For example, the scroll bar Max.length = 255.

    At the beginning, the scrollbar is on the left and the position = 0, bitmap color is white, as I move the scrollbar the color of the bitmap changes and becomes to black until the scrollbar is on the right side and position = 255. Any one who knows the idea can you please write a sample code. I wish it is clear , Thank you!!
    Don't laugh at me,I am just a SuperNewbie.

    Well first in most cases

    0 == BLACK

    255 == WHITE

    but

    Code:
    Find scroll bar pos
    
    Convert to a colour  (ie COLORREF  Black=RGB(0,0,0); this will be based on the 'scrollpos' ie Current_Colour = RGB(scrollpos,scrollpos,scrollpos);
    
    //You will have a HDC with the client area in it.
    
    Just find the area to paint (GetClientRect() )
    
    Create a brush with the correct colour 
    
    use FillRect() to colour it in 
    
    call for a paint 
    
    Clean up the GDI resources created
