I'm trying to control the colors of my edit controls by catching the WM_CTLCOLOR
in the parent window procedure and it doesn't seem to be working correctly.
The background for the edit control isn't being changed but the characters are
being colored with the correct foreground and background.  As soon as I backspace
over the characters the background is erased also.

The strange thing about this problem is that this code works in Windows 3.1 but
not 3.0.  It also works if I change the edit control to be ES_MULTILINE.

I'm following an example in Petzold where he does the same thing for scrollbars.  
The code looks like the following:

if ( HIWORD(lParam) == CTLCOLOR_EDIT )
    {
    SetBkColor( wParam, some_color);
    SetTextColor( wParam, some_other_color);

    point.x = point.y = 0
    ClientToScreen( hwnd, &point)
    UnrealizeObject( some_brush);`
    SetBrushOrg( wParam, point.x, point.y);
    
    return( some_brush );
    }

The SetBkColor() and SetTextColor() seem to be working fine because the characters
are printed with the correct foreground/background colors.  

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx, John
