I am trying to change the background colour of a Mapper Window, so that when it re-draws, it begins with a black background. At the moment, I draw the black background using a layer, but this creates a 'flashing' effect when users pan across the map, which is causing one of my users problems.
I can, of course, change the windows environment to achieve this, but then I end up with a black background in all in Word too! I guess I need to make an API call. I have been playing with SendMessage (in user32.dll) but I cannot find the message ID required to change a window's background. Any ideas?
