Get window background color

Question

Is there any function (C ++, MFC) for getting the background color of a window?

Answer 1

CDC* pDc= GetDC(); COLORREF crBkgnd = pDc->GetBkColor(); 

Answer 2

For the background, the default background color is used, use GetSysColor (COLOR_WINDOW). But in the end, the window decides what the background is and what the foreground is. WNDCLASS.hbrBackground and the message handler windows WM_ERASEBKGND and WM_PAINT are affected. Everything is possible.
