  A short cut is the longest distance between two points.

Thank you for your answer.  I finally decide to code the following :

/*

DeleteObject ((HGDIOBJ) SetClassLong ( hwnd, GCL_HBRBACKGROUND,
                              (LONG) CreateSolidBrush (
                                     RGB( 0,0,127 // for a blue background
                                      )))) ;

*/

I feel it very useful since I don't have to worry for painting  the
background, the OS will do it alone :-)

Is that code rightful  to your mind ?
