Individual color of a text field

Hello

I have some dificulties to change the color of only one text field in my dialog box. I used first :

case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
HBRUSH hBrush;
hBrush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0, 0, 0));
SetBkColor((HDC)wParam, RGB(0, 0, 0));
SetTextColor((HDC)wParam, RGB(255, 0, 0));
return (DWORD)hBrush;

But this change the color of ALL the text fields.
The text field I want to change is called HAUTEUR. How can I ask to the program to change only the color of HAUTEUR ?

All the best

In the lParam is passed the window handle(HWND) of the edit control that this message (WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC) applies to.

If the edit control is in a dialog you can get its control id and compare it with the id of the control that you want to set:

Code:

---

case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
if (GetDlgCtrlID((HWND) lParam) == ID_HAUTEUR)
{
    // set color for height control...
    ...
    return TRUE;
}
else
{
    return FALSE;
}

---

Otherwise, you usually have a variable containing the hwnd of the edit control:

Code:

---

case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
if ((HWND) lParam == hwndEditHauteur)
{
    // set color for height control...
    ...
    return 0;
}
else
{
    return DefWindowProc( ... );
}

WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC
Use lParam...
