To make your interface consistent with your application user's system, you should implement the SysColorChange function.

The gadget window calls the SysColorChange function of each gadget contained in the window when the window receives a WM_SYSCOLORCHANGE message. This function has the following syntax:

virtual void SysColorChange();

The default version of SysColorChange does nothing. If you want your gadgets to follow changes in system colors, implement this function. Make sure to delete and reallocate any resources that are dependent on system color settings.
