[Dev-C++] Edit control problem (WIN32)

[<mr...@c2...>]

Hi,

I am facing a strange problem with an edit control that I use
as a status window.

The control is created with this call to CreateWindow:

(line breaks may be garbled by the mailer..)

CreateWindow("edit", "",
WS_CHILD | WS_DLGFRAME | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE | 
ES_READONLY, 10, 25, 470, 160, hwnd,
(HMENU) ID_STATUS, hProgInst, NULL);


I catch the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message like this:

case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC:
{
	if(GetDlgCtrlID((HWND)lParam) =3D=3D ID_STATUS)
    {
    	SetBkMode((HDC)wParam, TRANSPARENT);
       SetTextColor((HDC)wParam, RGB(50, 50, 150));
       return (LRESULT)GetStockObject(LTGRAY_BRUSH);
    }
}break;

This gives me blue text on a lightgray background in the control.

Now comes the problem: If the text in the edit control is large 
enough that the user needs to move the scrollbar to see the text, the 
text becomes garbled, ie the edit control does not repaint it's 
window correctly.

If, however, I don't change the color of the control (by not catching 
the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message), everything is fine, and the control 
repaints just fine when scrolling.

What am I missing here?
