Change the background and foreground color of an MFC Edit Box
 
Define a CBrush pointer in your dialog Class
Code:
CBrush *brush;
Initialize the brush pointer in the constructor of your Dialog
Code:
brush = new CBrush(RGB(49,49,49));
Add the WM_CTLCOLR Message handler for the dialog and add the following code
Code:
        switch (nCtlColor) {
 
        case CTLCOLOR_EDIT:
                pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0, 255, 0));
                pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(0, 0, 0));
                return (HBRUSH)(brush->GetSafeHandle());
        default:
                return CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
        }

Making it as a seperate threads will have more responses but I will give you some hints as how you can do that.

There are couple of ways to be doing this.
1. You need to be doing is Derive a class from the CDialog and use that class for your dialog and in the PAINT message just use the bitblt function to render the image.
2. Add the PAINT message handler to the current dialog and draw the image to the DC of the paint method.

Using the SetFont method in the InitDialog function of the dialog box where the control is placed.

That will remain.

Is it possible to change the foreground color of a specific part of the text inside an edit box? For example "Error" should be red and the rest black.

Fine piece of code , very simple yet powerful.
