How to use bitmap as background for edit control?

[Oleg]

Hello all,
How to use bitmap as background for edit control?
Thanks

[Roland Seibert]

In your OnInitDialog you can receice your edit control and subclass it to your own CWnd Object. This CWnd object must handle the OnEraseBkGnd(). Here you can put code to draw a bitmap.

If you only what a pattern brush or another color you can handle the OnCtrlColor() in your dialog class

Hope this helps
