Color of edit box

How can I change the color of an edit box?

Use the WM_CTLCOLOR-message.

Your dialog can trap the WM_CTLCOLOR message.
Look up the MFC Help file notes for CWnd::OnCtlColor().
Before a control is about to paint itself, the parent
window receives a chance to set its own default text color and background brush.

Also, check out the Knowledge Base article Q117778,
"Changing the Background Color of an MFC Edit Control."
