Static control

[visha]

I want to add a frame/group box at run-time. The class used for that is CStatic. But I am unable to get the 3-D look and couldn't find any style which could set that property and also couldn't set the caption for that control.
Please help if anyone knows the solution to this problem.

Try using WS_CAPTION style in the Create method of CStatic and Use SetWindowText to set the Caption. I haven't tried this yet but it may work.
WS_DLGFRAME may give a 3-D look but Caption can't be set, I think

You can try ::SetWindowLong API to set Window Styles

Hope this may help to some extent
