How do you change the color of a pushbutton?
I want to have a red pushbutton.

It used to work well in OWL 2.5 using the function
EvCtlColor(HDC hDC, HWND hWndChild, uint ctlType)
in which I changed the color of the device context hDC with the function

SetBkColor (hDC, RGB(255, 0, 0));

But this doesn't work anymore in OWL 5.0.  The button remains gray.

If you have any idea, please write to
epflaum@hatch.ca

Thank you very much.
