Wouldn't this be a slightly better solution?

HBRUSH CMyDialog::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hBrush = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

switch (nCtlColor)
{
case CTLCOLOR_DLG: hBrush = (HBRUSH)::GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH);
break;
}
return (hBrush);
}

You could add a handler for WM_ERASEBKGND to your dialog class and draw
the background yourself, something like

BOOL CMyDialog::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);

pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect, RGB(0x00, 0x00, 0x00));

return TRUE;
}
