Hi all,
I am creating a Button class with Win32 API functions. So far
so good. I am using NM_CUSTOMDRAW message to change the back
color of my buttons. It's really easy to change the back color
in this way. But I can't change the text color of my button.
This is my pseudo code.
```
uint setBtnBackColor( LPNMCUSTOMDRAW lp) {
SetTextColor(lp.hdc, RGB(102, 255, 51) ) // Not working
if lp.uItemState & CDIS_SELECTED { //----------- btn clicked
// Change back color using SelectObject & FillRect
// Its Working. No probs.
}
elseif lp.uItemState & CDIS_HOT { //------------Mouse over
// Change back color using SelectObject & FillRect
// Its Working. No probs.
}
else { // ---------Default state of button
// Change back color using SelectObject & FillRect
// Its Working. No probs.
}
return CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT
}
```
What is wrong in my approach ?
I'm afraid you have to do everything yourself, including draw the
text and call SetTextColor() on the associated HDC (that you have
used in the DrawText() for exe)
