Hi there Gurus and everyone else for that matter...

The Question I have is... How do I change the background color ( and perhaps the text color )in a CEdit derived view.

To begin with, I have tried to catch some Windows msg:s like =WM_CTLCOLOR and WM_CTLCOLOR with poor result.

I also tried to tweak the OnDraw and in pure desperation the OnPaint functions.....

But it wont work.
The only result i get is that my app changes the background color to the one that i decided if the view is new ( empty ).

But if i open a new one it seems to default to white Bk and black text color.

and thats not what i want....

So ... if anyone would know how to fix this ...please tell me .....
