all my need is transient. i don't want to implement Pain(). because this is a temporary notification.
my application's main class is like,
class ezcommwin : public WithezcommwinLayout<TopWindow>
which utilizes a .lay

1. is it possible to change a LineEdit's background color?
2. i want to show some image in TopWindow when a button's clicked. But only for a short time.

I've tried Draw (cannot be initiated), DrawingDraw, ViewDraw...
even some built ok, they do not change window's view.

TextCtrl::
	enum {
		INK_NORMAL,
		INK_DISABLED,
		INK_SELECTED,
		PAPER_NORMAL,
		PAPER_READONLY,
		PAPER_SELECTED,
		COLOR_COUNT,
	};

	void      SetColor(int i, Color c)         { color[i] = c; Refresh(); }

All the painting should be generally done in Paint. For specific cases you can use tricks like overlapping the widget with e.g. Picture widget which accepts Drawing. Somethine like:

 
LineEdit edit;
Picture picture;
....
// show the picture
picture = my_drawing;
edit.Add(picture.SizePos());
....
// back to LineEdit
picture.Remove();

To set one EditField color:

	
	EditField::Style edit_field_style = EditField::StyleDefault();
	edit_field_style.paper = Yellow();
        myedit.SetStyle(edit_field_style);

To set ALL edit field styles:

	EditField::Style edit_field_style = EditField::StyleDefault();
	edit_field_style.paper = Yellow();
	EditField::StyleDefault().Write() = edit_field_style;

Changing the color of the popup menu can be (mostly) done with SetDisplay.

Mirek, you misunderstood me. i want it to show BESIDE my control, in my TopWindow. Twisted Evil

i wrote this in my TopWindow subclass' method, but nothing happens,

ImageCtrl img;
img.SetImage(CtrlImg::exclamation());
Add(img.SizePos());

why my EditField has no SetStyle() method? and it has no StyleDefault() either. using current version 2007.1

Ah. I think that version is too old, the EditField only got Chameleonized more recently. If you get 705-dev3 from SourceForge it will work. There isn't a direct link from the front page but it is there.

Otherwise the only solutions are to overload Paint method or use SColorPaper_Write() to change paper color.
