CEdit style question

[cristian.muller]

Hello,
i want to change the color and background of the font in the CEdit control.I saw in MSDN that he CEdit class is derived from CWnd.

In CWnd i found a function that returns me the device context for the CWnd client area(CWnd::GetDC;CDC* GetDC( ); )..

The following problem appears:when i mapped out a var CEdit m_myEdit and tried to acces m_myEdit.GetDC the compiler outputs:
error C2039: 'GetDc' : is not a member of 'CEdit'

How do i resolve this?

error C2039: 'GetDc' : is not a member of 'CEdit'

there is no GetDc() fucntion there is GetDC() ;)

and btw you can take a look HERE (http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/editctrl/) there are sevral samples for colored editbox .

Cheers
