Edit Box color

Hi All,

Does anyone know of any way to change the background white color of Edit Box, and color of its text ?

Any idea will be great.

Yes. Handle the WM_CTLCOLOR and change the colors that you want. There is an example in MSDN on the page for WM_CTLCOLOR (Handling Reflected Messages: An Example of a Reusable control).

Hi,

Handle WM_CTLCOLOR and in your OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, UINT nCtlColor)
function, use

Code:

---

  //set text color
  pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,255,255));
  //set the text's background color
  pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(0,0,0));

Oops. Cilu got ahead of me :)
