background colour of dialog
Hi,
I'm working on Installshield script MSI project. Could somebody help me with changing the background colour of a dialog? The default colour is grey but I want to change it to white. Is there any way to do it? Do I have to use windows SendMessage() to do it? Thanks in advance.

How about creating a white graphic that takes up the size of the dialog you want to be white and send it behind all of the other controls?

I've tried this method. It makes the dialog background white. Unfortunately, this created another issue. The Text controls and other controls I added later have the default (grey) background colour. This does not make the UI look very well.
Later, I found that the text controls with ID 50, 51, and 52 have the white background. Are they the only controls that can have the white background? Also, how about the other controls? Do checkbox controls with certain IDs have white background that I can make use of? Do radiobutton controls have the same thing?
Any help and comment is appreciated.
