If this was an edit control, the following should work:

Add a handler for the WM_CTL_COLOR message to the parent of the edit control. In the code it generates, put the following:

---HBRUSH CMyDlgOrWnd::OnCtlColor(CDC *pDC, CWnd *pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hBrBkgnd = NULL ;
UINT uID ;

uID = pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID();
if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_EDIT && uID == IDC_MY_EDIT_CONTROL)
{
pDC->SetBkColor(desired back colour);
pDC->SetTextColor(desired text colour);
hBrBkgnd = ::GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_WINDOW or whatever);
// Note - if you create a custom brush for the background, the brush
// MUST remain in existence outside of this routine - so make it a
// member of this class.
}

// We must ONLY call the base class if this call was not for our edit
// control - otherwise it will override our settings.
if (hBrBkgnd == NULL)
hBrBkgnd = CBaseClass::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

return hBrBkgnd ;
}

I don't know if this works for an edit control embedded in an edit view; you would have to check the edit view's code for the ID of the embedded edit control.

Does this help? If not, I'll have a little fiddle to see if I can sort it.
