POChange Color of read only CEdit control Artifacts and Text Highlighting issue
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an Edit control that is read only that has text in it. I would like to switch the default gray background to white but have been having limited luck. In my first go, I was executing the following code during initialization of the dialog:</p> <pre><code>CEdit *m_ctrlEditOne = (CEdit*) GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1); CDC *m_ctrlEEditWee = m_ctrlEditOne->GetDC(); m_ctrlEEditWee->SetBkColor(RGB(255,0,0)); Invalidate(true); </code></pre> <p>Another solution I tried was:</p> <pre><code>HBRUSH CTestingDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd *pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) { if (pWnd->GetStyle() & ES_READONLY) //if(pDC->GetRuntimeClass == & ES_READONLY) { switch (nCtlColor) { case CTLCOLOR_STATIC: pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(255,255,255)); return (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH); default: //return NULL; return CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); } } //return NULL; return CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor); } </code></pre> <p>In the screenshot below, you can see that the text is inserted after the fact (this is what needs to happen) and appears highlighted in blue - I have no idea where to begin on how to make it just appear as normal, non-highlighted text. When clicking on it, it appears normally. In the bottom left corners of each edit control, one can see a square which should not be appearing there. Also, you can see some artifacts of what looks like to be a combo box dropdown selection appearing in the larger boxes.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uwCoo.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I would appreciate any pointers on how to get rid of the artifacts and fix the highlighting issue with inserted text.</p>
