If no editing is required, then simply use static text and color them as you like. Search CP. There are heaps of articles on this. AFAIK you cannot change the white color of an edit control to any other color!

See DeleteFXPFilesYou have subclassed the edit control, handled your message of interest, created a solid brush and painted your color there! Can you do it without subclassing an edit control? With a plain CEdit control? PS: The requirement of the person who started this thread was to simply display colored text. I would not even think of subclassing an edit control for this purpose.

I know with subclassed but you said "you cannot change the white color of an edit control" ;)

It was completely in context with the question that was asked. It is silly to subclass an edit control and handle events and paint, just to display some colored text with background. And of course you will need to subclass to do such stuff. As you subclass it, it is no more the normal edit control. In that article I could see that certain events are not handled properly. For an instance, you cannot paste in the second edit control of that dialogbox. These are all the pitfalls of subclassing, about which we need to be extra careful.

You do not have to subclass the
CEditcontrol, but you do have to handle its messages in order to paint the colors yourself. You can do that by handling the messages in the parent window. The control I wrote uses its own class so that users do not have to keep writing the same handling code over and over. Peace!-=- James
