Moving Between Pages

He im wondering on how to move between pages in a program.

I mean if there was the program at startup and say you wanted to look at stocks, you would click on that button and it would take you to the stocks page, and if you wanted to go back you would click a back button.

Would you have to hide all the controls using ShowWindow() and create a whole lot of new ones and vice versa for when the user clicks the other button?

What you are describing looks like a Property Sheet in wizard mode.

Thanks for the information, also is it possible to load controls from another C++ file:

e.g. I would want to load a button:

Code:

---

//Example

void LoadButton()
{
    HWND hButton = CreateWindow("BUTTON", "Click Me", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 10, 10, 120, 27, hwnd, NULL, (HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(hButton, GWL_HINSTANCE), NULL);

}

---

And here it would be used:

Code:

---

//Example

#include "OtherFile.cpp"
extern void LoadButton();

.............

WM_CREATE:
{
    LoadButton();
} break;

---

The program executes but it does not load the button, do the controls code have to be implemented within the WM_CREATE case or can they be loaded form other sources like my example?

Thanks,

RJK

Your "HWND hButton" is a local variable within void LoadButton() function. So it goes out of scope just as you return from LoadButton(). :sick:
