GroupBox title text color

(1/2) > >>

John Z:
Hi Experts!

Is is possible to set the color of the title for a GroupBox without doing something like 'owner draw?  Been wracking my brain and burning up the keyboard trying things.

See circled item in the attachment.  I can change the font and language, no problem, but can't seem to change the color for this box's title.  In my dark mode one can't read it  :(

Any help appreciated ...even if it is "no it can't be done"  :)

Thanks,
John Z

So same problem as here:
How do I set the font and color for a group box caption using Win32

John Z:
Thanks TimoVJL,

Maybe so but I can set font, text and size, just not color. That site is blocked for me at the present time, I might try a VPN to it later.

I finally got in! Yes, looks like my issue and a possible way to solve it without owner draw but not mentioned directly. I’ll let you know.

Appreciate the help!

It is possible to change the background of the Group text but changing its text color eludes me.

Here is the BCX code that produces the app in the screenshot.

--- Code: ---GUI "Form1", PIXELS

CONST Grp1_Style    = WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_GROUP|WS_TABSTOP|BS_GROUPBOX

END ENUM

GLOBAL Form1 AS HWND
GLOBAL hGrp1 AS CONTROL

SUB FORMLOAD()
    Form1 = BCX_FORM("Form1", 0, 0, 463, 316)
    hGrp1 = BCX_GROUP("Group", Form1, ID_Grp1, 22, 25, 281, 190, Grp1_Style, Grp1_ExtStyle)
    CENTER(Form1)
    SHOW(Form1)
END SUB
