Re: I'm very confus Re: EditBox Control and font size, color, etc...
OK. Let's assume you are writing a MFC application and the class for the
dialog containing the edit control you want to set font and text color of is called CMyDialog. Using Class Wizard add handlers for WM_INITDIALOG and WM_CTLCOLOR messages as follows: BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); CFont fnt; fnt.CreateFont(14, 0, 0, 0, FW_NORMAL, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, ANSI_CHARSET, OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, DEFAULT_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH, "Comic Sans MS"); GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1)->SetFont(&fnt); fnt.Detach(); return TRUE; } HBRUSH CMyDialog::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_EDIT && pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_EDIT1) pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(128, 0, 128)); return hbr; } Hope this makes more sense. -- Boris Karadjov Brainbench MVP for Visual C++ http://www.brainbench.com "Demo" <denis@cybercat.qc.ca> wrote in message news:3b337f0e$1@news.devx.com... > > Hello boris, > > I don't know what to do with all that.
