CStatic background in CMyView
Hi!
I have create a CStatic control in my view, but I can't change the background color of the control becouse I can't process the WM_CTLCOLOR message from my view class.
How can I change the background color?
Thank you,
Tibi.

What do you mean when you say that you "can't change the background color of the control" using WM_CTLCOLOR? Are you say that is the problem or that for some reason you don't want to change the static's background color via this mechanism???

Please show you code (not just one line, either) where you create the static control.
Also show how you set up your WM_CTLCOLOR handler.
What you might like to try is deriving a class from CStatic that handles the WM_CTLCOLOR itself (use message reflection). Then create a control of this type instead. It is (generally) good OO design to let the cotrol class itself handle these sort of messages.
