Have a look at the CEdit::Create

I used NOT WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE in .rc to remove the sunked edge from CEdit(EDITTEXT) but it is still showing Sunked/raised edge from left and topside?

You should remove the WS_BORDER style: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../window-styles

When i used NOT WS_BORDER in .rc than it removed the entire boundaries from CEdit means box with no surroundings ..Any idea why, NOT WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE not working? My basic is issue is to remove that raised effect from left and top edge of CEdit

Sorry, I couldn't get you.
Could you attach a picture with what you have and another one with what you want?

It's an extended style so you'll need to use CreateEx

Attachment 35837

I have above one and i want below one.

One more suggestion: use Spy++ to obtain the styles of the control you are going to impement

Means with no flags or functions i can achive second edit box. I have to use CreatEx for that?

Is there some reason you're not using the resource editor?
