Thread: Default Windows Background Color

I was searching the forums for info on how to set the background the color of the default windows settings (in your display properties) i found COLOR_WINDOW+1 but that just gives me a white background when i use it like this:

Code:

    wincl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(COLOR_WINDOW+1);

is that the correct way to use it? did i forget to call something extra? or is it wrong all together?
thanks....

Remove the "GetStockObject" part of that line.

so....

Code:

    wincl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);

?????


still dont work....

Whatever the problem is, it's not that line of code.
