Right click "CMainFrame" and select "Properties".

From the "Properties" window toolbar, click on the Message icon.

Then click on the empty area beside the item " WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE" and choose OnQueryNewPalette

Replace the "return CMDIFrameWnd::OnQueryNewPalette();" statement with the following lines of code:

11.

From the "Properties" window toolbar, click on the Message icon.

Then click on the empty area beside the item " WM_SYSCOLORCHANGE" and choose OnSysColorChange

12.

OnQueryNewPalette();

13.

Right click " CTutorialView" and select "Properties".

14.

From the "Properties" window toolbar, click on the overrides icon.

Then click on the empty area beside the item "OnActivateView" and choose OnActivateView

   m_RasterPntWnd.HandlePalette(WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE,0,0);

18.	Open the "TutorialView.h" file from the "Soluation Explorer" tab and add the following line before the DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() statement:

afx_msg LRESULT OnHandlePalette(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

19.	Open the "TutorialView.cpp" file from the "File View" tab and add the following line before the END_MESSAGE_MAP() statement:

ON_MESSAGE(WM_HANDLEPALETTE,OnHandlePalette)

20.	Now add the following lines of code to the end of the "TutorialView.cpp" file:

LRESULT CTutorialView::OnHandlePalette(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) 
{ 
   if(lParam==TRUE) 
   { 
      if(m_RasterPntWnd.HandlePalette(WM_PALETTECHANGED, wParam, 0)==FALSE) 
         m_RasterPntWnd.Repaint(); 
   } 
   else 
   { 
      if(m_RasterPntWnd.HandlePalette(WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE, 0, 0)==FALSE) 
         m_RasterPntWnd.Repaint(); 
   } 
   return TRUE; 
}
