First you must clarify what you are talking about the standard Edit and Rich Edit controls - these are two completely different.

You can change the font by sending the WM_SETFONT message to the edit control. Setting color is a completely different process.

You can set the color of the text by replying to the WM_CTLCOLOREDIT message from the owner of the edit control.

You can send the message WM_SETFONT . Be careful, however, as the link explains, you may need to resize the control after changing the font.

For the standard WM_CTLCOLOREDIT message editing WM_CTLCOLOREDIT set the text and background color.
