Writing text in colors

I posted a problem with getDC:SaveDC() recently, and was advised to 
avoid using graphics routines - like, I suspect, setText(). i trued 
Win32Lib v0.57.6 but that doesn't help and is veerrryyyy sllooowwwww at 
times or in some routines. wPuts() & wPrintf() are nasty - they leave 
the rest of the text box with its old text, and use the system default 
background. I can't seem to get around these - so please can someone 
advise me what is a basically simple Windows task:

I want to write text, over & over again, into the same text box 
controls, in different foreground OR background color without the 
resources getting eaten up like they are when I use setWindowBkColor() 
and setText().

Anyone with a working technique (should be easy!!!) i will buy a beer 
when I see them!
