Here's the code snippet : To change only the background color

HBRUSH CTestDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
	HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

	// TODO:  Change any attributes of the DC here
	HBRUSH hBr=CreateSolidBrush (RGB(255,0,0));
       
        if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID ()== IDC_EDIT1)
	{
	    pDC->SetBkColor (RGB(255,0,0));
	    hbr=hBr;
	}
	// TODO:  Return a different brush if the default is not desired
	return hbr;
}

Is it OK! Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-) _AnShUmAn_

The following code changes the color of the all the EDIT controls of the dialog CtestMFCDlg. HBRUSH CtestMFCDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); if(nCtlColor== CTLCOLOR_EDIT ) hbr=CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,100,0)); return hbr; } :) Knock out 't' from can't, You can if you think you can :cool:

i want to change color of a particular control

I think following code will solve ur problem if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()==IDC_EDIT1) { CRect rect; pWnd->GetClientRect(&rect); pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect,RGB(255,0,0)); pWnd->ReleaseDC(pDC); } put this code in OnCtlColor (). This wil give you desired output. The secret of life is not enjoyment but education through experience. - Swami Vivekananda.
