Re: CEditView OnCtrlColor Not Received

Hi All,

I have an SDI project with five views. One view is derived from
CEditView. I'm trying to change the background color on the derived
view, but WM_CTRLCOLOR is not being received by the view.

Any ideas? Thanks,
Jeff

class CMyView : public CEditView
{
   afx_msg HBRUSH OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor);
   ...
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyView, CEditView)
   ON_WM_CTLCOLOR()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

BOOL CMyView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
   if( !CEditView::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
       return FALSE;

   cs.style |= ES_READONLY | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL;
   return TRUE;
}

HBRUSH CMyView::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
   // Calling Base class makes no difference
   // HBRUSH hbr = CEditView::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

   pDC->SetBkColor( RGB(255,255,255) );
   pDC->SetTextColor( RGB(0,0,0) );

   return (HBRUSH)m_brushWhite.GetSafeHandle();

}
