How do you set the background color of a groupbox? I mean the text part in the upper right.
Neither TWindow::SetBkgndColor will work nor EvCtlcolor since there is no COLOR_GROUP.
OWL or WinAPI, doesn't matter to me. Just want it grey.

The text background is the background color of the parent window, so you can either set the background of the parent to the color you want:
SetBkgndColor(TColor::LtCy
or encapsulate the groupbox in a new window and set the background color of that window:
TWindow *mywindow = new TWindow(this);
mywindow->Attr.X = 10;
mywindow->Attr.Y = 10;
mywindow->Attr.W = 100;
mywindow->Attr.H = 100;
mywindow->SetBkgndColor(TC
TGroupBox *mygroup = new TGroupBox(mywindow, 0, "Group 2",
0, 0, 100, 100);
mygroup->SetBkgndColor(TCo
Replace the colors I used with the colors you want in your applications. I used separate colors to show that is is possible to change the colors and set then of from the parent window. You of course will set them to your grey value.

EvCtlColor will work. I've done it before. I don't have my code handy, but I know that if you set the id of the group box to a unique number, it is easier to find out what is happening. I recall the group box acts like a static control.
