Setting the bkgrnd color of a control

Can someone please give me an example of setting the background color of 
controls, using low level win32?

I want to change the color of my mle's and various other controls.

I've looked at win32lib, and it uses SetClassLong(hwnd, 
GCL_HBRBACKGROUND, hbrush) and repaints the window, but I guess I'm 
missing some details, because I can't get it to work.

I've looked into the win32 SDK, and WM_CTLCOLOREDIT supposedly does what 
I want, by returning the new bk brush from the event handler.
But I haven't been successful.
