    Re: How to do flat style of CEdit (EDITTEXT) and CComboBox in CDialog

    I used the below code for creating CEdit dynamically, code compiled but editbox is not visible on screen.
    Code:
    CEdit *tedit = new CEdit;
    tedit->CreateEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE , L"Edit", L" ", ES_AUTHOSCROLL | WS_BORDER | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD , CRect(15,150,30,20),this, IDC_EDIT);

    Is the CRect(15,150,30,20) within the parent?

    Look at the order of parameters for the CRect constructor.

    WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE will give you the 3D look you don't want. I only mentioned CreateEx earlier because you were using WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE with Create.

    How did you check it is "within the parent"? Did you call GetWindowRect for both the parent and child to be sure they somehow intersect?
    Or did you use some other way? Which one?

    It's not displaying because his CRect arguments are wrong. The bottom is higher than the top.

    Re: How to do flat style of CEdit (EDITTEXT) and CComboBox in CDialog

    I read but getting no clue how to fix that.if i am able to see it anywhere on the dialog than atleast i will move it where i want .. within OnInitDialog() i wrote CRect temp; GetWindowRect(&temp); while debugging i got following values [ LT(108,1), RB(712,724)],[656 × 723]. So now accordingly please suggest any rough CRect() coordinates so that editbox get atleast visible

    No clue how to fix it? Look at the parameters you need to pass in to a CRect constructor and see if the ones you're passing in make sense. You need to figure that one out yourself. I gave a good clue a few posts back.

    Re: How to do flat style of CEdit (EDITTEXT) and CComboBox in CDialog

    Hitting my trials since last 1 day, but not able to see CEdit on Screen. Below is the code of .rc file
    [CODE]
    IDD_DIALOG_M 0,0,283,277
    STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
    CAPTION "MYDIALOG"
    FONT 8,"TAHOMA"
    BEGIN
    PUSHBUTTON "OK" 15,251,37,15
    END
    [/ CODE]

    Below is the code in .cpp for constructor and OnInitDialog

    Code:
    MyCDialog::MyCDialog( MyClass *acct, CWnd* pParent):CDialog(MyCDialog::IDD,pParent)
    {
    m_acct = acct;
    }
    
    BOOL MyCDilaog::OninItDialog()
    {
    CDialog::OnInitDialog():
    
    m_edit = new CEdit; // CEdit *m_edit declared in .h
    m_edit->CreatEx(!WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE , L"EDIT",L" " ,WS_BORDER | WS_VISIBLE  | WS_CHILD,  CRect(40,120,40,30), this, IDC_EDIT);
    
    return TRUE;
    }
    Please help me out in passing correct values inside CRect so that box become atleast visible on screen

    Let's start simple. What are the arguments the CRect constructor takes?

    FWIW, the resource editor is much easier than doing it this way
