In OnCtlColor function add this block of code : Define in the header file as follows in the public section: COLORREF m_color; HBRUSH m_brush;

if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID () == IDC_EDIT1) 
	{
          pDC->SetBkColor(m_color);
          hbr = m_brush;
        }
	if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID () == IDC_EDIT2) 
	{
          pDC->SetBkColor(m_color);
          hbr = m_brush;
        }

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-) _AnShUmAn_ -- modified at 8:18 Friday 16th June, 2006

HBRUSH CAnswerDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(54,97,200));//text //pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(0,0,0));//background return hbr; }_**

Better way to Subclass both the Controls you can do whatever you want and use those classes. Following link directs you for subclassing Extended Edit and Static controls[^] Knock out 't' from can't, You can if you think you can :cool:
