You have to process the WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR message, and return a handle to the brush to color it.

Whenever your program receives that message, you need to specify a return value that is a handle to the brush you want to color it with.

It's not a function; it's a Windows message constant for the SendMessage function.
