No need to use GDI! To get a gradient background, put this code in yourform.resize:

LOCAL lnRow
ThisForm.ScaleMode = 3
ThisForm.DrawWidth = 1
FOR lnRow = 0 TO ThisForm.width 
   ThisForm.ForeColor = RGB(0,0,255-255*lnRow/ThisForm.width) && Change the color values to your preference
   ThisForm.Line(lnRow, 0,lnRow,ThisForm.height)
NEXT lnRow

Yourform.init:

this.resize()
