MFC - change text color of a cstatic text control

Question

How do you change the text color of a CStatic text control? Is there a simple way other that using the CDC::SetTextColor?

thanks...

Just a follow up to the painting issue (a transparent background), which caused by *return (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH);*

Easy change as below:

HBRUSH hBrush = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);

if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC &&
    pWnd->GetSafeHwnd() == GetDlgItem(XXX)->GetSafeHwnd()
) pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));    

return hBrush;

Hope this helps.
