One possibility is to handle the parent's WM_CTLCOLOREDIT (WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC for read-only edits) and return a suitable brush handle. The brush handle for an image can be created by using CreatePatternBrush or you can use one of the other brush creating api functions for different patterns/colours (eg. CreateHatchBrush and CreateSolidBrush). If you use this approach, use SetBkMode to make the text background transparent; you may also have to invalidate the control in the EN_CHANGE command notification to ensure that changes you make to the edit control's text are properly rendered.
