CXTFlatEdit background color

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

Hi,

you need catch WM_CTLCOLOR of parent window. See MSDN it has sample.
