Owner drawn cedit

Hi all, i wish to draw a round shaded rectangle frame around a cedit control, how do I override
the cedit class so that i can draw the frame myself and offset the actual text output rect to some
where in the center (or to anywhere within the round frame).

You can imagine this as draw a bitmap round rect frame around the cedit which is borderless.

Derive a class from CEdit and handle WM_NCPAINT, with your own code to paint the frame.

Hope this helps
