RichEdit & WM_CTLCOLOREDIT

[Nick Melnick]

I've modified Borje Hagsten's code for "Synchronized Textboxes" to use
a RichEdit control (V2.0) for one of the text boxes. It appears
that this control never sends a %WM_CTLCOLOREDIT, or %WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC
message. The MSDN library documentation states that the control does issue
this message. I must be missing something. Anybody have a clue as to
what the problem may be??

Nick;

The RichEdit control does not send the color message like the
edit control does.

You need to send the RichEdit control the EM_SETBKGNDCOLOR
message to set the background.

Well... It looks like it's back to good ol' WM_COMMAND.
THANKS!
