    [RESOLVED] FLAT CEdit(EditBox)

    Just a quick question. I am able to achieve flat editbox through CreateEx already discussed in previous thread.But question here again is why i am not able to achieve it resource editor although when i see editbox in resource edit it appears perfectly flat but after compiling code ,box shown on screen has sunken edge , not able to understand why. Since in my application i have to do around 200 editboxes flat thats why i dont want to use CreareEx . I am using Visual studio 2015. In project settings Target platform version is 8.1 and Target Platform is Windows..I have windows 10 installed on my machine.

    Show us your final code that creates editbox which looks like you want.

    Also, the part of the resource file that describes an edit control created in the resource editor.

    Re: FLAT CEdit(EditBox)

    Victor i tried create new MFC application to check actual issue. When i created new MFC application(project) and a simple dialog in it through resource editor .i found that after compilation i find everything flat on screen.now i compared the .rc file of this new created mfc application dialog and one where i am facing the problem. Difference was these 2 lines were missing in .rc where i am facing issue. #include "targetver.h"
    #include "verrsrc.h"
    Den i tried adding them but on compilation it gave error cannot open include file "targetver.h". Any suggestion?

    Targetver.h contains one line
    #include <SDKDDKVer.h>

    Look for a difference in stdafx.h between the projects if it can't find that.

    Inspite of targerver.h i simply added sdkddkver.h .code compiled successfully but still no flat style achieved. I compared .rc, .h with the newly created mfc application dialog all seems fine......

    [Resolved]. I was missing #include afxdisp.h and #include sdkddkver.h in STDAFX.H
