Q: 

How to change the color of a textual cue when sending an EM_SETCUEBANNER Message ?

When you send an EM_SETCUEBANNER message, you get a grey textual cue in your edit control. How to change the color the textualcue in Win32/C ?

+2  A: 

Edit controls do not support custom cue banner colors. You will have to subclass the Edit control and custom-draw it manually to get that kind of effect.
