Owner-draw edit controls

Can "owner-draw" edit controls be made without making my own custom edit class?

I thought of returning a brush created with CreatePatternBrush() in WM_CTLCOLOREDIT, but I haven't tried it yet.

Basically it worked but I don't know how to create a padding between my own border (which is in that bitmap) and the text that I can write into it...

Try setting the formatting rectangle with EM_SETRECT.

It only works with multiline edit controls...
