    First of all, in your piece of code you have instantiated a CStatic object but have not created a static control (see CStatic::Create). And BTW: where/why do you want to put a static control in the MDI child frame window?

    thanks Yes I do have the Create function. How do I use WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC ? Should I call the OnCtlColor() ? Thanks Pritha

      No. It will be called by the system while initializing the controls. You simply have to return the appropriate brush from the message handler.

            Hello, There was a query on the same lines.I am many a times confused which are the fucntions that are called by the system automatically which are not. Now in this case why the creation of CStatic calls OnCtlColor(). Thanks, Pritha

                  We suppose you made a program Windows send messges to your program if you need to these messages you can declare events for them like WM_MOUSE* or WM_PAINT and etc.You dont need to call windows events because windows sends them to your program for exmaple you need to change color of a static control so you tell to Windows that I need to this event with declare this event.

                      You can see them on the MSDN for example if you enter WM_COPYDATA on the MSDN you will be see "This message is sent when an application passes data to another application" or WM_INPUT "The WM_INPUT message is sent to the window that is getting raw input."
