I am writing a reusable class based on CEdit and everything seems to be working OK except that the control does not appear as 3D when created dynamically in a dialog (i.e. no resource ID) but rather appears as a plain old Win16 edit box. The control does appear as 3D when used in a dialog with an associated resource ID.

I would like to create a good framework for dynamic dialgs without having to mess with the resource editor.

BTW, Can anyone point me to a good book or website dealing with creating controls dynamically at runtime?

TIA
