## Remarks

The brush identified by the $hBrush parameter may be either a handle to a logical brush or a color value.
If specifying a handle to a logical brush, call _WinAPI_CreateSolidBrush().
Additionally, you may retrieve a handle to one of the stock brushes by using the _WinAPI_GetStockObject() function.
If specifying a color value for the $hBrush parameter, it must be one of the standard system colors (the value 1 must be added to the chosen color).
For an example you can see _GUICtrlListView_InsertGroup() example #2.
