CEdit Read-Only question

Hi,
I have a CEdit which I set to Read-Only mode.
But I want the color of the edit to remain white (and not gray).
How can I do it ?

Thanks,
Iris.

Use CStatic instead of CEdit(sunken) and you can color it after!

No, I need CEdit...
Can it be done in CEdit ?

u could use OnCtlColor to change the background of the CEdit color to white.
HBRUSH CMyDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
     HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
     
     if (pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_MYEDIT)
         pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(255, 255, 255));
     
     return hbr;
}
