I want to manage some of my radio buttons and some of my static texts have colored text when the dialog receive a certain message, but other controls donot. How to do this? thanx.

make texts of the control or the static text have color

[valikac]

One solution is to add a handler for ON_WM_CTLCOLOR. Kuphryn

Do you mean I should create a new class, inheriting from the orignal control class, for my control which I want to color its text. Then overridde the OnCtlColor function of the class, use CDC::SetTextColor to set the text color? I am not good at programing, please say it somewhat detailedly. Thanks a lot!
