Re: System Colors

[Quoted] Okay. I received no response to my original post. Maybe I didn't explain well enough what I am looking for. I'll try again.

I want to be able to set an item background color to be the came as the background color of a window. The form window background color is unspecified so it will always be the color the user has selected with the MS Windows Display Properties. I need a way, like a forms built-in function, to find out what that color is so that I can use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY to specify BACKGROUND_COLOR to be that value. I know how to use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY to set a specific color, I just don't know how to find the current window color.

Is this possible? Is there somewhere else to find this information? Is there some other way to do this?

Any help would be appreciated.
