Window Color

[golfinguy4]

How do u make the window have a background color other than the standard black, white, and gray? I think it has to do with regions, but I don't know how to get a color like yellow or something. Yes, I am a beginner and very dumb.

Create and define an HBRUSH object (with CreateSolidBrush) then use it when you set up your WNDCLASSEX hbrBackground.

Here's a basic example:

//this is all at the top of your WinMain
HBRUSH hbYellow=CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,255,0));
WNDCLASSEX wcx;
wcx.hbrBackground=hbYellow;
//wcx.etc etc etc....
