I'm am developing an application in VC++ 6 but i need to change the background colour and the text colour of a static text object that is on my dialog. I can't find a way to do this. I need to change the background colour to Grey and the text to White. Any ideas on a really simple solution, thanks

When a static control is created, the parent window receives a WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message. The WPARAM paramater equals the device context which can be used in the SetTextColor function to change the text colour in the control. The LPARAM paramater is the handle of the static control. You must return the handle to a colour brush that windows will use to colour the background of the control. A rough example: case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC: if((HWND)lParam == handleofstaticcontrol)
SetTextColor((HDC)wParam,RGB(0,0,255)); // set color of text in control
