changing label text color

What is a label?

You can't set this in the dialog editor.

At runtime, you need to handle WM_CTLCOLOR for the control and set its color that way.  That means you need to give the control a real ID, and not IDC_STATIC (which is -1).

Here's a code framgnet:

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

   if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_FOO)
   {
      pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
   }

   return hbr;
}


Obviously, you'll use whatever ID you want in place of IDC_FOO. Also, you can pick any color; I used RGB(255, 0, 0) which is red.

Is worker018 talking about a static control?

I would say so.  Some Windows environments call 'em labels.

Oh sorry, I mean static control.
but, I can't understand how can I use your code

==========================================
HBRUSH CScan04Dlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{                        
      HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

      if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_FOO){
            pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0));
      }
      return hbr;
}

===========================================

I inserted this code in my dialog, and wrote the header file.
and replace IDC_FOO to IDC_POSITION (my control name)
what can I do next?

Hi worker018,

take a look at http://www.codeguru.com/staticctrl/label_static.shtml for a extended CStatic derived class code and sample ...

hope that helps,

 Thanks for your answer.
