Question

I just wonder how to do it.
I write :

CEdit m_wndEdit;

and in the button event handler (dialog app),
I write :

m_wndEdit.Create(//with params);

but I still don’t see the control appear in the UI.

I actually wrote this in the button handler :

CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST1);
CRect rect;

pWnd->GetClientRect(&rect);

//pWnd->CalcWindowRect(rect,CWnd::adjustBorder);

wnd_Edit.Create(ES_MULTILINE | ES_NOHIDESEL | ES_READONLY,rect,this,105);

wnd_Edit.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

this->Invalidate();

id 105 doesn’t exist. (I used it in the Create member function of CEdit). I just put it in there. isn’t it supposed to be the id you want to give to the new control ? Should it already exist ?

Check with the following set of flags as the example mentioned in MSDN:

   pEdit->Create(ES_MULTILINE | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | WS_BORDER | ES_NOHIDESEL | ES_READONLY,
      rect, this, 105);
