Topic: CXTFlatEdit background color

Subject: CXTFlatEdit background color

I want to make forum_posts.asp?TID=9503 - 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.

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 forum_posts.asp?TID=9503 - CXTFlatEdit and override onpaint.
