Change highlight color of selected text in RichEdit

Question

How to change the color of selected text in a RichEdit control when text is selected? SetSysColor () can do this, but it globally changes the highlight color.

Setting CHARFORMAT2 with SCF_SELECTION and sending EM_SETCHARFORMAT changes the font color and background. But this is only visible after you deselect the same range. This is not very useful, as I want it to be the original color again as soon as something is canceled.

So how really puzzled me.

Just subclass it (long published in google groups, C / Winapi code)
