What color to use in owner-draw Windows List Control background?

Question

I have an owner-drawn list control in my Windows program. I use CListCtrl::GetBkColor to get the background color, and for a selected item I use GetSysColor(COLOR_HIGHLIGHT). This matches what Windows uses for non owner drawn list controls, except for the case where the control doesn't have focus - then the background is replaced with gray.

Does Windows use one of the GetSysColor constants for the selected but unfocused background? If so, which one?

Answer 1

COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION (3), I think.

Update: Nope, it looks like it's just COLOR_BTNFACE (15).

Answer 2

Ah, ok. With a bit of fiddling, I've determined that it uses the SystemColors.Control color in .Net, which is the equivalent of the C++ COLOR_3DFACE

COLOR_BTNFACE, COLOR_MENU, and COLOR_MENUBAR all also represent the same color on a default install of Windows.
