White background of Lister

[zsgm02]

Guys,

It seems that the Lister window's white background somehow overrides the child window's background color. I have a dialog box template, which has normal, BTNFACE background color (this is the default).

When I create this dialog, and the Lister window makes it a child window, the background color of my child dialog becomes white, even though I handle the WM_CTLCOLORDLG notification message.

I created another Windows application (to prove my concept), emulating the Lister window and I had control over my dialog's background color.

Is there a way to override this behavior in TC? (or I should do some tweaks, like a background parent static control, or smth like that?)

Thanks,
Zoltan
