It's not working for me. Not only that, but if I try change the background
color, it fails and the foreground color goes to black (I assume it's going
to the original setting, or maybe the Windows default setting) and I can't
change it anymore afterward. Kind of odd. BTW, it's not the InvalidateRect
that's causing this odd behaviour.
If anyone has succeeded in getting background color in a textfield to
change, please send me a copy of the code. If it doesn't work for me, at
least I'll know it's something about my system.
My system information (from the System Properties dialog box):
Windws 95
4.00.950a
IE 5 5.50.4134.0600
