Changing color of a pushbutton in a dialog box

Hi,

I want to change the color of my button during runtime..

i am writing the following code inthe OnCtlColor of my dialog box

Code:

---

HBRUSH CPIVSyncDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC *pdc,CWnd *pwnd,UINT nCtlColor)
{
        HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pdc,pwnd,nCtlColor);

        switch(nCtlColor)
        {
                case CTLCOLOR_BTN:
                        if(pwnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_STARTSTOP)
                                pdc->SetBkColor(RGB(255,0,0));
                        return (HBRUSH)m_btbrush.GetSafeHandle();
                case CTLCOLOR_DLG:
                        pdc->SetBkColor(RGB(255,255,255));
                        pdc->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
                        return (HBRUSH)m_hbrush.GetSafeHandle();
                case CTLCOLOR_EDIT:
                        pdc->SetBkColor(RGB(0,0,0));
                        pdc->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
                        return (HBRUSH)m_hbrush.GetSafeHandle();
                default:
                        return CDialog::OnCtlColor(pdc,pwnd,nCtlColor);               
        }
        return hbr;
        //return (HBRUSH)m_hbrush.GetSafeHandle();
}

the button is IDC_STARTSTOP i want to turn it red..but the interesting thing is the whole dialog box turns red except the buttons...

i have searched the msdn library and I am following all the instruction given in example ...all in vein... any suggestion would be helpful..

thanks,
Hardik

instead of
return (HBRUSH)m_btbrush.GetSafeHandle(); after each case
just break; so that
return hbr; gets returned, otherwise, it never reaches that line.
