Hello,
I would like to set the text color and the background color of a Control
Cbutton.
I tried the following code in 'OnCtlColor' but it only works for a CStatic
Control.

HBRUSH CFontesView::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
 HBRUSH hbr = CFormView::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

 COLORREF crRed = RGB(255,0,0);
 COLORREF crBlue = RGB(128,184,223);

   if (nCtlColor != CTLCOLOR_EDIT && nCtlColor != CTLCOLOR_LISTBOX
  && nCtlColor != CTLCOLOR_BTN)
 {
     pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
  hbr = CreateSolidBrush(crBlue);
   }

 if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_BUTTONTEST1)  // Doesn't work ! ! ! !
{
     pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
  pDC->SetTextColor(crRed);
  pDC->SetBkColor(WHITE);
  hbr = CreateSolidBrush(WHITE);
  return (HBRUSH) hbr;
   }

 if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_STATIC2)   // ok !!!
 {
  pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
  pDC->SetTextColor(crRed);
  file://pDC->SetBkColor(WHITE);
 }

 return hbr;

Thanks,
Arnaud from France

To set the colour for a button you need an owner drawn button. Have a
look at the Platform SDK docs on WM_CTLCOLORBTN.

Use an owner-draw button. There is an example of a bitmap-based
owner-draw button on my MVP Tips site, and you can work
theme-and-variation on this to draw anything you want.
