  • How to set the back color of a child window

    Hi,

    I have created a child window using WM_CreateWindowAsChild and used a callback function to set a background color, but it does not seem to set the background color at all, instead I get some sort of shady green artefact in the background. I don't understand why it does not work.

    Is there a function to set the background of a child window like SetDesktopColor for the desktop window.

    regards

    fifo

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately, there is no such function.

    But you can simply add the following to your callback function:

    C Source Code

    1. case WM_PAINT:
    2. GUI_SetBkColor(GUI_GREEN);
    3. GUI_Clear();
    4. break;


    Regards,
    Sven
