Background color on Text Boxes and other controls

[Reagan Conservative]

I have been able to change the background color on my Dialog box, but the background colors are still white on my text boxes and other controls. How does one change the background on those items? Thanks for your assistance.

For edit box in onctlcolor OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { if( CTLCOLOR_EDIT == nCtlColor ) { pDC->SetBkColor( RGB(250, 0, 0 )); }:) }

Dream bigger... Do bigger...Expect smaller aji

In WM_CTLCOLOR message handler set background mode as transparent and return a null brush. This will make the background colour of the controls same as background colour of your dialog

You can use WM_CTLCOLOREDIT like this LRESULT CMyAnswer::OnCtlColorEdit(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { HDC hdc = (HDC)wParam; SetBkMode(hdc,0); SetTextColor(hdc,TextColorEdit); // SetBkColor(hdc,RGB(53,97,200)); return (LRESULT)(m_pBrush->GetSafeHandle()); }
