CStatic background color problem
-
I am writing a program that displays static text on a black background. I can change the CStatic object backgound color to black or I can set the space behind the text to the standard light grey color I.E the space directly behind the text not the entire CStatic area (toggle m_staticTextBgd see below). I want to change this light grey to another color. I tried SetSysColors but I dont want to change this at a system level. Thanks
if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC ) { CWnd *Ctrl = GetDlgItem(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()); if (Ctrl) { CRect Rect; Ctrl->GetWindowRect(&Rect); this->ScreenToClient(&Rect); COLORREF Clr = this->GetDC()->GetPixel(Rect.left-1, Rect.top-1); DeleteObject(hbr); hbr = CreateSolidBrush(Clr); if(!m_staticTextBgd) pDC->SetBkColor(Clr); pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(m_fntR,m_fntG,m_fntB)); pDC->SetBkMode(m_staticTextBgd?OPAQUE:TRANSPARENT); } } return hbr;--- -

This colors in the excess space in the CStatic where there is no text, I.E making the unused space blend in with the background, I want the space behind the actual text to be colored, this is done by not using
pDC->SetBkColor(Clr);in the method OnCtlColor. But I dont know how to change this from light gray. --- -
