changing the caption color of a Button

one more thing: dont forget to change the type of your buttons to CColorButton.

:~)

what do you mean with "caption" of a button?
A frame window can have a caption.
Do you want to change the textcolor of the button title ?

please be more specific.

yes Pacman, what i ment that i need to change the textcolor of of the button; if u go to the properties of push button in any dialog, there is a field called caption; i need to change the color of this.
do u have more direct way than sedgwick's one ?

he means 2 change the text color !!!

b_yousif: did u try my comment???

Yes there is a simpler solution.
Before a control is drawn in a dialog, the dialog is asked to set the color for the control.

example:

// the following function makes the static text
// with the ID IDC_FARBTEXT red
// it should also work with buttons ...
// to add the function you can use class wizard's
// "add virtual function..."


HBRUSH CMyDialog::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
    HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

    if ( nCtlColor==CTLCOLOR_STATIC )
    {
        if ( GetDlgItem( IDC_MYTEXT)->GetSafeHwnd() == pWnd->GetSafeHwnd() )
            pDC->SetTextColor( RGB( 255, 0, 0 ) );
    }

    return hbr;
}

sorry, IDC_FARBTEXT is not correct.
Must be IDC_MYTEXT

you may also use CTLCOLOR_BTN instead of CTLCOLOR_STATIC ...

Pacman: did u try it yourself befor posting that comment?

b_yousif: post your e-mail and i'll send u a smpale

Pacman

my e-mail is b_yousif@hotmail.com
it will be nice to get a sample.
you know when i asked this i thought that there is a way to do this using one of the member functions, some one that i didn't find in CButton.
any way i'm waiting for ur sample.
