Howdy... Does anyone know how i can color a #@!!¤"% edit control in win32 API? Nothing i do seem to affect it... What i wanna do is... When the user-input is wrong, i want the background to become red. Sounds simple... // Peter - In need of your help!

Now it works... THanx!

A working piece of code if anyone is interested... Remember to return a brushhandle, otherwise it won''t work.

// Peter - Enjoy!

case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT:

if (lParam == (long) hWndEdit) // Handle to an edit ctrl.
{
SelectObject( (HDC) wParam, hBrush );
SetTextColor( (HDC) wParam, 0xFFFFFF );
SetBkColor( (HDC) wParam, 0x0000FF );

}
return (long) hBrush;
