hi,

You should be able to override OnCtrlColor, test for the control's ID, and
use the CDC to
SetTextColor();

You can change color of all texts in  handler of WM_CTLCOLOR. However, if
you need to change color of each indiviual item, you need to do Custom
Drawing(NM_CUSTOMDRAW).

Neil!

You will want to check the WM_CTLCOLOR message, and also, from the online
help:

OnCtlColor will not be called for the list box of a drop-down combo box
because the drop-down list box is actually a child of the combo box and not
a child of the window. To change the color of the drop-down list box, create
a CComboBox with an override of OnCtlColor that checks for CTLCOLOR_LISTBOX
in the nCtlColor parameter. In this handler, the SetBkColor member function
must be used to set the background color for the text.
