Hello again Euman,


Yes, that's what it means to 'process' CTLCOLORSTATIC.
The main idea was to bring attention to the differences
for the benefit of other Euphoria programmers.
It is a little amazing how more code is now required to
get the same results.

Thanks for the idea to use the base class instead though, i 
might use that idea.  I just quickly threw a few lines of 
code at it to get the original program (that had already
worked fine) working again.


Since i wanted to have a way to control the individual 
edit controls in my apps, here's the way i wrapped it:


----CODE-----------------------------------------------------------

  --declared in the WndProc file:
  --  within WndProc():

  function WndProc(....)

    integer cid


    if uMsg = WM_CTLCOLOREDIT or uMsg = WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC then
       cid=GetID(lParam) --get id of control 
       if onColorControl[cid]>0 then
         return call_func(onControlColor[cid],{wParam}) --pass hdc
       end if
    end if


  end function


   -- in the file that contains the creation of the edit control:

    global atom EBColor,hEditBrush

    EBColor=#FFFFFF --choose color here, any color

    hEditBrush = c_func(xCreateSolidBrush,{EBColor}) --create a brush 
for use anywhere

   function onControlColor_Edit1(atom hdc)
       atom OldColor
       OldColor=c_func(xSetBkColor,{hdc, EBColor} )
       return hEditbrush
   end function
   onControlColor[Edit1]=routine_id("onControlColor_Edit1")

   WinMain()
   ProgramCleanup()

----CODE_END-----------------------------------------------------


Take care for now,
Al
