Thread: CStatic

is it possible just to change the text color of a CStatic control? i made a class derived from CStatic and i want to change the text color on MouseMove event i dont wanna use the paint event because i will have to use my own text wrap function and i dont wanna use that, for now i got this code:

Code:

HBRUSH CLabel::CtlColor(CDC* pDC, UINT nCtlColor) 
{
	CDC dc;
	HBRUSH brush;
	pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
	pDC->SelectObject(&m_font);
	pDC->SetTextColor(m_color);
	dc.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
	dc.SelectObject(&((CChateXDlg*)AfxGetMainWnd())->m_bmp);
	brush = (HBRUSH)::CreateSolidBrush(dc.GetPixel(24, 24));
	dc.DeleteDC();
	return brush;
}

thanks

You create the brush on the stack. Create a brush as member of the class.

can you give me an example please ? i dont really understand what you mean

thanks

Create a class member of type HBRUSH. You only need to create one brush object. Update via SetDCBrushColor().
