Toolbar and Menu background colour

Could anyone please tell me a way to change the default vanilla colour background colour of a menu and toolbar to another colour. I have seen some owner draw functions, where people have changed the background colour but not for the entire bar, i mean right from one end to another. If i could get the DC object for the entire bar somehow i could be able to do it, maybe. Any kind of help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Toolbar and Menu background colour

Learner.example

Derive a class from CToolBar and handle OnEraseBkgnd. For the menu, you'd need to owner draw it (lots of samples available on Code Project - http://www.codeproject.com/menu/ )
