Background color of Command Objects in Win32

["Key, Jay Andrew" <KeyJA@logica.com>]

Is there an easy way to set the background color of C_TextIn and C_ComboBox
controls on a command pane?  When placed in a dialog box, these command
objects have a white background, yet on a command pane they have a grey
background.  For an end-user, this could be quite confusing, as they might
assume that a C_TextIn is read only.  When in the non-dropped down position,
the combo box text has a grey background, but when the associated list is
displayed, it uses a white background.  Lists seem to always use the white
background.

I'll be going through the source later today -- I was just curious if this
had occured to someone already and if a work-around (that doesn't involve
posting patches to the library itself) exists.
