That's what I have done as mentioned above.
However, all I got is just black background for the typed text, not for the whole client area of control.
Perhaps the other option would be to derive class from CXTFlatEdit and override onpaint.]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:19:56 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9506&PID=30935&title=cxtflatedit-background-color#30935 <![CDATA[CXTFlatEdit background color : Hi, you need catch WM_CTLCOLOR...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9506&PID=30932&title=cxtflatedit-background-color#30932 Author: Oleg

Hi,

you need catch WM_CTLCOLOR of parent window. See MSDN it has sample.]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:12:05 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9506&PID=30932&title=cxtflatedit-background-color#30932 <![CDATA[CXTFlatEdit background color : Any ideas? ]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9506&PID=30920&title=cxtflatedit-background-color#30920 Author: souren

I want to make CXTFlatEdit control with black background and green text color. What is the correct way of doing that?
If I override OnCtlColor and return black brush I only got black text color for the typed text, the rest is default white.

Also tried to create class and use SetTheme for control
class CXTFlatEditThemeLogWindow : public CXTThemeManagerStyle   

and override RefreshMetrics but then realized it doesn't have any member for background color.


Please advise.
Thanks
