    Just drawing on the dc in the PAINT method will do your job.

    Here is the default PAINT method of the default dialog based MFC
    Code:
    	if (IsIconic())
    	{
    		CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
    
    		SendMessage(WM_ICONERASEBKGND, (WPARAM) dc.GetSafeHdc(), 0);
    
    		// Center icon in client rectangle
    		int cxIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON);
    		int cyIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON);
    		CRect rect;
    		GetClientRect(&rect);
    		int x = (rect.Width() - cxIcon + 1) / 2;
    		int y = (rect.Height() - cyIcon + 1) / 2;
    
    		// Draw the icon
    		dc.DrawIcon(x, y, m_hIcon);
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		CDialog::OnPaint();
    	}
    
    Just replace it with
    Code:
    	if (IsIconic())
    	{
    		CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
    
    		SendMessage(WM_ICONERASEBKGND, (WPARAM) dc.GetSafeHdc(), 0);
    
    		// Center icon in client rectangle
    		int cxIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON);
    		int cyIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON);
    		CRect rect;
    		GetClientRect(&rect);
    		int x = (rect.Width() - cxIcon + 1) / 2;
    		int y = (rect.Height() - cyIcon + 1) / 2;
    
    		// Draw the icon
    		dc.DrawIcon(x, y, m_hIcon);
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
    
    		CRect rc;
    		GetClientRect(&rc);
    		dc.FillSolidRect(rc,RGB(98,84,84));
    		
    		CDialog::OnPaint();
    	}
    
    We just added the following lines
    Code:
    		CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
    
    		CRect rc;
    		GetClientRect(&rc);
    		dc.FillSolidRect(rc,RGB(98,84,84));
