Color/Font question

[Scott Turchin]

I've seen this posted a hundred times easily but can't find a sample that covers waht I am doing..

I have multiple labels and edit boxes, but I only want %IDLABEL3 to have color, everything else should be the normal system font and black...

But %IDLABEL3 Has to be blue or red (probably blue)...


So here I go, but htis paints ALL LABELS blue....(and makes them too big)
'Most of this is in the STMP example (Reading past posts etc)

'In Dialogproc

Local Lb         As LOGBRUSH
Local lf         As LOGFONT
Static hFont1    As Long
Static hBrush    As Long       


    Case %WM_INITDIALOG
      '------------------------------------------------------------------
      'COLOR STUFF
      hFont1 = MakeFont("Courier New", 10)
      GetObject hFont1, SizeOf(lf), ByVal VarPtr(lf)
      'Make the text bold font or normal
      lf.lfWeight = %FW_BOLD
      Lb.lbStyle  = %BLACK_BRUSH
      Control Send CbHndl, %IDLABEL3, %WM_SETFONT, hFont1, %TRUE
      hBrush   = CreateSolidBrush(GetSysColor(%COLOR_3DFACE))
      '------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS IS likely the part that is kicking my butt...  [img]http://www.powerbasic.com/support/forums/smile.gif[/img] I don't understand what it is doing....


    Case %WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC
              SelectObject CbWparam, hFont1 'and who is CBWparam at this point?
              SetBkMode CbWparam, %TRANSPARENT
              SetTextColor CbWparam, %BLUE
              Function = hBrush    


Function MakeFont(ByVal Font As String, ByVal PointSize As Long) As Long

  Local hDC      As Long
  Local CyPixels As Long

  hDC = GetDC(%HWND_DESKTOP)
  CyPixels  = GetDeviceCaps(hDC, %LOGPIXELSY)
  ReleaseDC %HWND_DESKTOP, hDC

  PointSize = (PointSize * CyPixels) \ 72

  Function = CreateFont(0 - PointSize, 0, 0, 0, %FW_NORMAL, 0, 0, 0, _
            %ANSI_CHARSET, %OUT_TT_PRECIS, %CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, _
            %DEFAULT_QUALITY, %FF_DONTCARE, ByCopy Font)

End Function

Scott,

Case %WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC
     If GetDlgItem(ghDlg,%IDCLABEL3) = Cblparam then
        '<insert code herer>
     End IF
