In the constructor for your TextCtrl, maybe something like:

evt_set_focus { self.background_colour = Wx::RED }
evt_kill_focus { self.background_colour = Wx::WHITE }

I'm not sure that on all platforms, the native TextCtrl is allowed to 
change the background colour. But this works fine for me on OS X.
