Background Colour of Windows in MaxGUI?

Hi All,
Sorry if this has already been covered, did a search of the forum but didn't turn anything up.
Is it possible to change the background colour of a window created in MaxGUI. It defaults to the grey colour and I'd like to change it to white.
Many thanks in advance,

This window is grey because your OS is grey and just like the other gadgets: it's a window of the OS.

A solution: pick a spare day and make your own window gadget, which you can completely customize, gfx-wise and feature-wise.

Another more simple solution: put a panel on the window-form, and give the panel a color with SetPanelcolor mypanel,r,g,b. This then only changes the form tho, not the outer parts of a window.
You use this panel as parent for your gadgets then..

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've tried the setpanelcolor command which worked but seemed to stop my other panels which were in front of it from working. Will making it a parent make them work again?

So you already had panels/gadgets with the window as parent? Then make this new Panel the parent for all. (As in: first make this new panel, then proceed with the rest of the app)

local window:TGadget=CreateWindow(..)

local windowpanel:TGadget=CreatePanel(0,0,clientwidth(window),clientheight(window),window)

' list of your own application stuff, buttons, panels, etc.

local MyGadget:TGadget=CreateWhatever(.. .. ,windowpanel)
local MyGadget2:TGadget=CreateWhatever(.. .. ,windowpanel)

etc.

Yep, I had the original window, panels and buttons set up. Just wanted to make the windows background white
I'll give your suggestion a go.
Thanks again.

That worked a treat, thanks
