I'm wondering simply how to set the text color and background color of a CEdit
control.  I didn't see any member functions related to that in the CEdit, so I
figured it's in a base class.  All I found was CWnd::SetFont, but I don't think
that's what I want.

You have to override OnCtlColor() to change text color and background color.
pDC->SetTextColor() would change the text color and you should return the
brush of the color that you want the background color to be.

Hi, Bill!

Look up TN062: Message Reflection for Windows Controls in the MSDN index. It's a long document, but
somewhere along in there they get to creating a CYellowEdit class that demonstrates how to do this
very thing.

HTH,

Jeff...
