I asked a question about this a month ago and needed to reply for more
info, but have been on holiday, so a reply so far down the newsgroup would
probably not be noticed - hence the new thread.

I need to get a colour from the current theme so I can force part of a
dialog to be 'background grey' instead of white. I tried using the methods
OpenThemeData() & GetThemeColor(), but got nowhere - the code wouldn't
link and it all seemed a long way round to get a single colour value.

What is the easiest way to find out the current theme's 'background dialog
grey' colour (RGB value) please?

Perhaps I don't even need to go to the theme directly - is it possible to
interrogate something else in the dialog that I know is the right colour
and get its background colour?

Thanks,
GT
