If you are using it with a control, that's really the only effectively simple place to use it. Another option is to subclass the control in question but you may end up having to handle the entire drawing for the control as attempts to CallWindowProc for default system rendering may sometimes result in changes you've made being overridden. A third option, if you're confronted with having to draw the control yourself, is to owner-draw it; refer to the individual control documentation on msdn for how to do this.

unkownname, Tropicalia said that he already can get it to work in WM_CTLCOLOREDIT.
Try
Code:case WM_XXX: // Never use this code in WM_PAINT. HDC hdc = GetDC(hwnd); SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(255,0,0)); // red SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(255,255,0)); // yellow break;
