Actually My code:

RECT rect // this is the Edit box Rect
LRESULT CALLBACK EditClassProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
case WM_PAINT:
HBRUSH hBrush;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
hdc = BeginPaint( m_hWnd, &ps );
hBrush = CreateSolidBrush(rgb);

FillRect (hdc, &rect, hBrush);
DeleteObject (hBrush);
EndPaint( m_hWnd, &ps );

.................
.............
}

it changed the Edit background color but in different position, why,
or how to fix this?

you dont need to handle this in WM_PAINT at all.


process the WM_CTLCOLOREDIT message in your parent window's window procedure and it will handle the wm_paint stuff itself.

the WPARAM is the HDC you'll be working with and the LPARAM is a HWND to whatever is processing this....

for example....

Code:

---

case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT:
        SetTextColor((HDC)wParam, ftext);
        SetBkColor((HDC)wParam, tback);
        return (LRESULT)CreateSolidBrush(tback);

---

where ftext is a COLORREF structure holding the text color and tback is another one w/ith the background color..... *COLORREF ftext = RGB(255, 255, 255); * for example.

hope this helps

Code:

---

// globals
HBRUSH hbrushEditBox = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(34,94,144)); // making a brush color (API)
//----------------------------------------------------------

case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT: // Same as Static, only for EditBoxes
        {
            HDC hdcEdit = (HDC)wParam; //Get handles
            SetTextColor(hdcEdit, RGB(255, 255, 255)); // Text color
            SetBkMode(hdcEdit, TRANSPARENT); // EditBox Backround Mode (note: OPAQUE can be used)
            SetBkColor(hdcEdit,(LONG)hbrushEditBox); // Backround color for EditBox
            return (LONG)hbrushEditBox; // Paint it
        }
        break;
