I have a MFC non document/view application. I created a CDialogBar that contains
CStatic (labels) and CEdit controls. I and able to set/display text in the
CDialogBar by using CWnd::SetWindowText.  I am able to change the background
color of the CEdit controls by adding a message handler for WM_CTLCOLOR in the
CDialogBar class.

I need to change the background color of one (1) of CEdit controls in the
CDialogBar for a status indication.  I cannot change the background color of just
one of the CEdit controls; it's either all or none.

Is there any way to do this.

Derive your Own class from CEdit and handle WM_CTLCOLOR in the EditBox
level.

case CTLCOLOR_EDIT: if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == ID_OF_SPECIAL_EDIT)
                        return m_hBrushEditColor;
                    else
                        return CDialogBar::OnCtlColor(...);
