Override the OnCtlColor method: Ex:

if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()==/*ID of the item*/)
	{		
		COLORREF clrStruct=RGB(/*back ground color*/);
		hbr = CreateSolidBrush(clrStruct);		
		pDC->SetBkColor(clrStruct);
		pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,0));
	}

You can do something like this. Try this....

What version of editor are you using. VS6.0 / VS .NET 2003 or something else.

You can also add the code with your hands In the header file HBRUSH OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) In the .cpp file HBRUSH CadfDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); // Add your code here return hbr; } In Message map of your class ON_WM_CTLCOLOR() But avoid doing so...

if you use VS2003 you can use from property window for insert WM_CTLCOLOR yto your class.

thanks, it worked; but with this i can't set a bitmap as a back round of the edit box;

i'm in the end of the project; and i dont think its a good idea to convert it automatically with wizard;

	HBRUSH CYourDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
	HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
	CBrush m_Brush;
	m_pBrush.CreateStockObject (NULL_BRUSH);
	if(pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID()==IDC_STATIC1/*ID of the item*/)
	{		
		pDC->SetBkMode (1);
		return (HBRUSH)mBrush;
	}
	return hbr;
}

I hope that your problem would be solved with this.
