You want to handle the WM_CTLCOLOR* messages. This allows your dialog
process to adjust the colours used within various parts of the dialogbox.=

IE
WM_CTLCOLORBTN
WM_CTLCOLORDLG
WM_CTLCOLOREDIT
WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX
WM_CTLCOLORMSGBOX
WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR
WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC

To handle the dialogbox background you need to handle the WM_CTLCOLORDLG
message.=20
