回答1:

Assuming that you are working with a CProgressCtrl named progressBarCtrl, have a try with:

COLORREF clrBar = RGB(0, 0, 0); // the bar color
progressBarCtrl.SendMessage(PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, (LPARAM) clrBar);

for background:

COLORREF clrBg = RGB(255, 255, 255); // the background color
progressBarCtrl.SendMessage(PBM_SETBKCOLOR, 0, (LPARAM) clrBg);

PMB_SETBARCOLOR and PBM_SETBKCOLOR are Windows messages for changing the color settings of progress bar controls.

By the way, there is a method SetBkColor for CProgressCtrl which can be used for background color.
