How to custom the font and background of control?

Hi everyone,
I need to custom the font and background of controls in the dialog,
e.g. the font and background of static text. The dialog I expect is the
same as the dial dialog.
I'm a rookie, please help me to start.

It'd be really appreciate if anyone have any ideal regarding to this subject.

your trying to reimplment the dialing dialog?

if your referring to the header of the dialing dialog, that's a image,
gif I think.
So LoadImage()/BitBlt(), or you can use the static Image Control with
STM_SETIMAGE.

I tried to implement the header of dialog througt drawing background and text
in Edit Control. But I came into a new problem that the text color overlap
with the background color.
I also used "SetBKMode( TRANSPARENT )" , but still useless.
What could I do to make the text color separate from the background color?

which API are you using to draw the text? DrawText()? or are you
creating a edit control? SetBKMode() works with DrawText()

I just find my problem was not what I observed. My problem is really that I
couldn't modify the text color of Edit Control with "pDC->SetTextColor()".
My code is:
BOOL CMFCtextDlg::OnInitDialog()
{ ......
((CEdit *)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT))->SetWindowTextW(_T(" Welcome"));
......
}

HBRUSH CMFCtextDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{ ......
if( pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_EDIT )
{
pDC->SetTextColor( GetSysColor( COLOR_WINDOWTEXT) );
pDC->SetBkMode( TRANSPARENT );
}
.....
}

Hope this helps...

case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT:
{
hbr = (HBRUSH) DefWindowProc(hDlg, message, wParam, lParam);

if (!(GetDlgCtrlID((HWND)lParam) == IDC_TEXT))
return (LRESULT) hbr;

SetTextColor ((HDC)wParam,RGB(0,0,0));
SetBkColor((HDC)wParam, RGB(255,255,211));
SetBkMode((HDC)wParam, OPAQUE);

hbr = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,255,211));

SetWindowLong(hDlg, DWL_MSGRESULT, (INT) hbr);
return TRUE;
}

Thank you for your respond, but your code is the same as my code.
HBRUSH CMFCtextDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
if( pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID() == IDC_EDIT1 )
{
pDC->SetTextColor( GetSysColor( COLOR_WINDOW ) );
pDC->SetBkColor(GetSysColor( COLOR_WINDOWFRAME ));
pDC->SetBkMode( OPAQUE );

return m_brushCaption;
}

// TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired
return hbr;
}

How to set the parameters of LoadImage function? I add a gif image into
project,
the resource ID is "IDR_BRICK_961", but the return value is NULL, the error
code figure that " can't find specified image file". My code is :

((CStatic
*)GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC))-> SetBitmap(::LoadBitmapW(AfxGetInstanceHa
ndle,
MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_BRICK_961)));

The reson is whether the first parameter is error,or not?

hope your help!
