VC, CEdit text color

CEdit text color

Hello,

I have a CEdit-derived control where I post messages from the server I am
monitoring. I can change the color of the messages but it is for all
messages.

What I would like to do is set the color of warning messages to yellow,
standard responses to green, and error messages to red. As I mentioned I can
change the text color for all messages, but what i would like to do is per
maessage.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Greg

Use CRichEditCtrl instead of CEdit.

U should use ON_WM_CTLCOLOR

HBRUSH CNameView::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr;
CBrush m_brush;
m_brush.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,0,0));
switch (nCtlColor)
{
case CTLCOLOR_EDIT:
case CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX:

switch (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID())
{
case IDC_EDIT1:
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(192,192,192));
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0));
hbr = (HBRUSH) m_brush;
break;
default:
hbr=CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC,pWnd,nCtlColor);
break;
}
break;
default:hbr=CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC,pWnd,nCtlColor);
}
return hbr;

Better still would be to use a listbox for logging. See Dr Newcomers
article on a logging list box in the MVP tips at this site:
