Colours in Dialog boxes c++

[JohnKeays]

I am doing a simple dialog box that has a status reply and I want to change the colour of the text to yellow for a caution, red for an error and say green if it is okay. I have tried and failed to use Settextcolor() in the dialog box. I have been using Visual Studio 6,7,and 8. Old style C and MFC.

If your coding C, why post in the C++ forum?

Anyway, show some code.

A quick google gives me this:

and

http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/mfc_coding/147975/147975/how-do-you-change-static-text-box-text-color/?S=B20000

Don't know if they are addressing your problem.

I suppose the canonical example is the example at the bottom of CWnd::OnCtlColor on MSDN.
