Hi,

I've posted similiar before, but just can't find the answer, so here goes
again:-

Under XP themes, edit boxes and the like change their border colour to match
the theme, e.g. standard XP theme is a Blue colour, so edit boxes have a
blue border. How (an example please, please!) do I find this colour. I've
found many abstracts on applying themes but they all tend to be some C++
code that calls functions that override the painting with themed elements -
whereas I want to know the colours through code. I don't want to go down the
road of analysing existing pixel element colours on the screen to find what
other controls changed to.

Thanks,
Merlin
