Change background color of CMFCListCtrl header?

Question

For a CMFCListCtrl in a CPropertyPage, I want to change the background color of the header. There is a protected method of the header control CMFCHeaderCtrl::OnFillBackground (virtual void OnFillBackground(CDC* pDC);).

Can I use the OnFillBackground function to change the background color without creating any new classes or using custom draw?
