  DWORD SetBkColor( DWORD crColor );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <crColor>   Specifies the new background color.
 
  Remarks
 
  Sets the current background color to the specified color. If the
  background mode is OPAQUE, the system uses the background color to fill
  the gaps in styled lines, the gaps between hatched lines in brushes, and
  the background in character cells. The system also uses the background
  color when converting bitmaps between color and monochrome device
  contexts.
 
  If the device cannot represent the specified color, the system sets the
  background color to the nearest physical color.
 
  Return Value
 
  The previous background color as an RGB color value. If an error occurs,
  the return value is 0x80000000.
