Problem in changing the font color of a date time picker control.

Actually

a combo box consists of an edit box and list box.

So you

have to set the color for both list box and edit box.

See the

sample snippet

if(

nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_LISTBOX )

pDC->SetTextColor( RGB(0xFF,0,0));

if( nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_EDIT)

pDC->SetTextColor( RGB(0xFF,0,0));

I've tried implementing both CtlColor() and OnCtlColor() using Class Wizard and neither even get called in the debugger.

I have no problem with OnEraseBkgnd() and it seems to be painting the backgrounds just fine.

CTLCOLOR_EDIT and CTLCOLOR_LISTBOX probably do not apply to a Date and Time Picker since

1. There is no List Box, and

2. DTM_SETMCCOLOR is used to set the colors in the month drop down, the equivalent of a combo bo drop down.

and this is only useful in order to paint different colours for the edit control and the list box anyways.

However, like a combobox, perhaps it is possible to get access to the edit control itself somehow.
