Re: Background color of Command Objects in Win32

["Key, Jay Andrew" <KeyJA@logica.com>]

	Two ways I found to make the C_TextIn and C_ComboBox commands have
white backgrounds, but unfortunately both require changes to the library
itself:

	1.  Comment out the line in vcmdpane.cpp (approx line 547) in
DynamicDlgProc
	    //case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT:

	2. Make vCommandPane::DynamicDlgProc virtual.  Subclass vCommandPane
and override DynamicDlgProc, such that it specifically handles this message,
and otherwise calls vCommandPane::DynamicDlgProc for default processing.
Upon receipt of a WM_CTLCOLOREDIT, it should call DefDlgProc().  Something
like:

	int myCommandPane::DynamicDlgProc( HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, 
	   WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
	{
		if ( uMsg == WM_CTLCOLOREDIT )
		  return DefDlgProc( hDlg, uMsg, wParam, lParam );
		return vCommandPane::DynamicDlgProc( hDlg, uMsg, wParam,
	                                        lParam );
	}

	Of course, if someone else has a solution that doesn't require
modifying the library, I'd like to hear about it.

	thanks,
