CEdit

[Matt Ellison]

CRect m_size(100,100,500,500);
CEdit attempt;
CWnd * temp = (((CDialogApp*)AfxGetApp())->GetMainWindow());
temp->CalcWindowRect(m_size);
attempt.Create(ES_LEFT, m_size, ((CDialogApp*)AfxGetApp())->GetMainWindow(),6001);
attempt.ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);


I cannot simply create a CEdit box on a simple dialog based project. What am i doing wrong. The pointers and everything look good but nothing seems to show up. thanks for any help

I'm not sure but maybe you have forgotten the window attributes like WS_VISIBLE.

Doesn't work. Tried just about every window attrib. possiable. the wierd thing is that in the debugger the one i make static has two Whnd one with Whnd and one [Whnd] i think i'm putting the one i create dynamically in the wrong place? But since i'm using a dlg project that should not matter right? thanks in advance

When I put an edit box in a dialog, I always use the ResourceView editor and put the control in the dialog resource. I seldom have a need to call Create directly.
