Question is pretty straight forward, I'm using SetDlgItemText to display text, but I want to change the text color from black to grey so it appears grey on the screen. I tried settextcolor, knowing that was a long shot and it didn't work.
EDIT: Here is the code I have that creates the box
SetDlgItemText(hDlg, IDC_EDIT2, password_string);
You don't mention whether the control is a static or an edit control.
Use code like the following in your dialog proc; For Edit controls: under case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT:
and for Static controls under case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT:
if (::GetDlgCtrlID((HWND) lParam) == IDC_MY_CONTROL)
{ HBRUSH hbr = (HBRUSH) DefWindowProc(hDlg, iMessage, wParam, lParam);
SetTextColor((HDC) wParam, RGB(192, 192, 192));
return (BOOL) hbr;
}
return FALSE;
Cannot do that with Stock dialogs.
Option #1 - use WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC
Option #2 - USE RTF by swapping/switching to a Rich Edit Control
