Changing a custom OLE_COLOR type property via a custom property page

MFC

Hi, I'm developing a ActiveX control that I want to able to change the colour various parts of it. I know I can use the stock property page of it. I don't wish use it, because I want greater flexabitly.
Declartion in the IDL file:

[id(4) , helpstring("property myColour")] OLE_COLOR myColour;

I've made the implentaion as notification. Therefore, in the the control's cpp file

DISP_PROPERTY_NOTIFY_ID(CMyActiveXCtrl, "myColour", dispidmyColour, m_myColour, OnmyColourChanged, VT_COLOR)

The property page in question I have a Static control which I intend to map to the property. Which is declared as such:

private:
    CColourStatic m_selectedColour;  // Subclassed from CStatic
    COLORREF m_nColourVal;

Now the problem is when I call UpdateData the data exchange doesn't work when I uncomment the DDP_Text line. When it commented it works for the static control only.

void CColoursPropPage::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
//  DDP_Text(pDX, IDC_BKCOLOUR_STATIC, (OLE_COLOR)m_nColourVal, _T("myColour"));
    DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_BKCOLOUR_STATIC, m_nColourVal);
    DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_BKCOLOUR_STATIC, m_selectedColour);
    DDP_PostProcessing(pDX);
}

Can anyone tell we how to solve without adding the stock prop page.

Thanks in advance.

Alton.
