How to change the text color in a disabled edit box using MFC?
- by anand.arumug
Hello all,
I have a dialog in which the edit box is disabled but the text should be displayed in red instead of the default grey. I tried the following:
void CMyEdit::OnEnable(BOOL bEnable)
{
CEdit::OnEnable(bEnable);
if (bEnable)
{
m_BackGroundColor = kRGBWhite;
}
else
{
m_BackGroundColor = kRGBDefaultGray;
}
m_TextColor = kRGBRed;
m_BackgroundBrush.DeleteObject();
m_BackgroundBrush.CreateSolidBrush(m_BackGroundColor);
Invalidate();
}
But its still displaying the text in grey only. But if I remove the base class call CEdit::OnEnable(bEnable); then new text color takes effect. Can anyone explain whats wrong in the code?
Thanks for your time.
cheers...
