Now look at the numbers you're passing in. Do they make sense?

If you use the dialog editor, you don't need to call any kind of create. And again, you don't need CreateEx. I only mentioned it previously because you were using an extended style. The extended style is what is causing you problems.

I used the toolbox and dragged an edit control onto a dialog. Making no changes, it looked exactly like what you wanted.

If u will use the resource editor ,than edit box will look fine there but as soon as you will compile and see dialog on screen than sunken raised rdge(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE) will be seen in CEdit.thats why i have to use CreateEx with !WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE .

I don't see that behavior. You can turn WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE off in the resource editor, but it shouldn't be on anyway. WS_BORDER and WS_VISIBLE should be all you need. What version of Visual Studio are you using?

Visual studio 2015..I have turned client edge off

I can't tell you anything else at this point. Maybe zip up the smallest project you can so we can take a look.

I have above one and i want below one.

I suggest you the third time: use Spy++ to ensure all the window as well as the extended window styles of the editbox you want to create.

Passing right parameters to CRect (left, top,right,bottom) resolved it. Width = right - left , Height = bottom- top.
