In order to obtain font dialog below code

CFontDialog dlg;
if(dlg.DoModal()==IDOK)
{
//GetCurrentFont() for font
//Getcolor() gets color choosed by user
//SetFont() can be used to setting the font
}

so here my question is which function can be used to set the color to the text which is opted by the user.

Solution 1

Take a look at the article Using colors in CEdit and CStatic[^], it would seem to be what you need.

You could do something like this to set the fonts:

C++

LOGFONT lf;
memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT));
lf.lfHeight = 16;
_tcsncpy_s(lf.lfFaceName, LF_FACESIZE, _T("Arial"), 7);
HFONT hFont = ::CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
CFont* pfont = CFont::FromHandle(hFont);
m_wndEditBox.SetFont(pFont);

You can also override the OnCtlColor function...
