Thread: changing color of a static window

Code:

orange = CreateWindow(_T("STATIC"),_T("     "),
						WS_VISIBLE | BS_VCENTER | BS_OWNERDRAW | WS_CHILD,
					    330,30,15,15,
						topic,NULL,(HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_HINSTANCE),NULL);

is there any way to change the background color on that?

Use WM_CTLCOLOR or WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC.
