Static Control background color

[Bob Piskac]

How do I make the static control background color the same color even where
the text is not drawn? Right now the left and right side of the text is
white.

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define ID_TEXT_TITLE 1001

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

int WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR szCmdLine,
int iCmdShow)
{
static TCHAR szAppName[] = "TestApp";
HWND hwnd;
MSG msg;
WNDCLASS wndclass;
int iWidth, iHeigth;

wndclass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW ;
wndclass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc ;
wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0 ;
wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0 ;
wndclass.hInstance = hInstance ;
wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION) ;
wndclass.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW) ;
wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) (COLOR_BTNFACE + 1); //(HBRUSH)
GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH) ;
wndclass.lpszMenuName = NULL ;
wndclass.lpszClassName = szAppName ;
iWidth = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
iHeigth = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

if (!RegisterClass (&wndclass)) {
MessageBox (NULL, "This program requires Windows!", szAppName,
MB_ICONERROR) ;
return 0 ;
}
hwnd = CreateWindow (szAppName, // window class name
"Test Application", // window caption
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, // window style
iWidth - iWidth/2 - 598/2, // initial x position
iHeigth - iHeigth/2 - 104, // initial y position

ShowWindow (hwnd, iCmdShow) ;
