[RaymondM]

I am unable to find any sample code covering the change of color in text output. I would be grasteful for any pointers. Raymond Mercier

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking but theForger has a nice win32 API tutorial. It can be found here: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/dlgfaq.html

Try this out (If possible use reflect message in yours ) HBRUSH CMessaJunkDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); if (nCtlColor==CTLCOLOR_EDIT ) pDC->SetTextColor (RGB(255,0,0)); return hbr; } Regards, FarPointer Blog:http://farpointer.blogspot.com/

Thanks to the three people who replied so promptly. Of course SetTextColor and the messages like WM_CTLCOLORDLG are the obvious thing, but somehow I had never had to do it before. Raymond Mercier

in OnPaint function test this code CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting dc.SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,200)); dc.TextOutW(10,10,_T("test"),4);_**
