put a background pattern

hello,

I tried to put a pattern on the background of a crichedit control.

OnInitDialog()

{

CBrush myBrush;

CBitmap m_Bmp;

m_Bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_PAT);

myBrush.CreatePatternBrush(&m_Bmp);

...//set the text in richedit

}

CPaint()

{

CDC * pCDC;

CRect rect;

rect.SetRect(x,y,l,h);

pCDC->m_Rich.GetDC();

pCDC->FillRect(rect, &myBrush);

}


The problem is the pattern appears on the text, not under it.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

You can't do this in an OnInitDialog - it needs to be done in a OnEraseBkgnd handler for the rich edit view.


There is some code for CBitmapDialog that demonstrates this. I've applied this to CFormView and CTreeView without any problems and I assume this should work for CRichEditView.

Show me where I can find the code for CBitmapDialog

and send to me the sources you write for CTreeView, please.

Thank you,
