Change the shape of CEdit custom draw?

**karhong** · May 5th, 2009, 01:55 AM

Hi,

I've created CCustomEdit inherited from CEdit and managed to change its background color and text color.
I'm trying to change the shape of it ( eg : on each end i plan to make it like curve a bit rather than 90 degrees )

Is there any ways to change the shape of the CEdit ? Any tutorials/sample would be highly appreciated. Can GDI able to change the style of it?
My project is MFC based.

With thanks,
KarHong

Handle the WM_PAINT message to draw the edit yourself.

Can you give me some sample on how to draw it ?
thank you for your reply!

I'm sure you can find samples on the web. Consider this: http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/v-s/devs...icle.php/c8491.

WM_PAINT is irrelevant as Edit draws on WM_NCPAINT (see source code of Edit control...)
Just use regions
