Winapi edit control chenge selected text font color

I have text in edit control and I want to change color to some piece of text. In Embarcadero C++ builder, I'm selecting text like this:

edit1->SelStart = 10;
edit1->SelLength = 12;

and then change color:

edit1->SelAttributes->Color = clRed;

It's posible in Winapi standard Edit control or I must use Rich edit?
