Remarks

Initializes a brush color. The brush can subsequently be selected as the current brush for any device context.

When an application has finished using the brush created by CreateSysColorBrush, it should select the brush out of the device context.

Example

// Declare a CBrush and initialize to a system color.
CBrush brush;
brush.CreateSysColorBrush(COLOR_BTNFACE);

// Select the brush into the device context.
CBrush* pOldBrush = (CBrush*)pDC->SelectObject(&brush);

// Draw.
CRect rect(50, 50, 150, 150);
pDC->Rectangle(rect);

// Reselect the original brush.
pDC->SelectObject(pOldBrush);
