I assume you are running this on win32. This is a known limitation of
the native Windows control that button colors can't be changed. If
you really want the button to change colors, you could do one of the
following:
* implement an owner draw button via windows callbacks
* get a GC on the button and update the color every time you get a
paint message
* implement an emulated button widget (e.g. CButton instead of CLabel)
