Chaning color of a textbox (or any control)

I want to change, I belive, background color. I have no clue on how to do it, also I want to choose custom rgb or pre made colors (eg. lightblue).

Thanks very much.

procces WM_CTLCOLORXXX message in callback function.
XXX can be : BTN, DLG, EDIT, ...

you can use the ChooseColor with the CHOOSECOLOR struct to get the choose color standard dialog, that will fill the COLORREF 'value' on the CHOOSECOLOR struct with the selected color; then simply apply the color.
