I've encountered a problem to change the background color of selected text
in Richtext edit. The default color of selected text is black color in
Richtext version 1.0 and blue color in version 2.0.
If I call ::SetSysColors API to change the selected text background color
then all the windows controls will get effective. Is there any way to make
it only works in my application ?

Thanks

Regards
Rene

You can use SetSelectionCharFormat to change the selected text:

CHARFORMAT cf;

cf.dwMask = CFM_COLOR;
cf.dwEffects =0;

cf.crTextColor=RGB(255,0,0);
m_MyRichEdit.SetSelectionCharFormat(cf);

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions on this topic, please
