An HDC (which MFC wraps with CDC) is obtained using BeginPaint() or related
proceedure when you are painting your window in response to the WM_PAINT
message (OnDraw in an MFC view).

However, you don't normally do custom painting in a dialog box. Thank
goodness too. Just imagine if you were responsible for managing all the
items in a dialog!

I suspect SetBkColor is not what you want. However, you've told us very
little about your goals so I don't know enough about what you want. In
general, it is best to leave the color of dialog boxes alone. But perhaps
you have a compelling reason to override the default.
