Just set the size of the control equal the client size of the dialog.

Thank you VictorN Sir ..

I need to use Slider Control in my main program in client area.
I have used it in dialog only using resource editor.

Now I dont know whether I can use it in main program without dialog.
I need to set temperature of furnace. I have implemented UP DOWN Arrow Keys
But wish to give Edit Control or Slider Control .

How to do this ?

What do you mean by "main program"?
And what is the type of your application: dialog based, SDI, MDI, something else?
Are you using MFC?

Thank you VictorN sir ..

My application is MFC APP Wizard SDI application. It is not dialog based.
I have divided screen in two parts .
In one part I display Temp Controller Status.
In other area I need to set Temp . I am doing that with Up Dn Arrow keys.
But just I thought of having Slider Bar Control to set the temp.
I have used it only in dialogs.

so how to do it ?

Now I dont know whether I can use it in main program without dialog.

Any control is just a window. Any window can be made be a child of another window under condition you do it right. For example, a dialog can be embedded into another dialog or overlapped window. So answering your question: You can. And now you know it.

How to do this ?

CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx.

P.S. The best way, imho, to avoid asking trivial questions on the forums is purchasing a decent reading on Programming Windows.

In SDI you can use CFormView derived class. It is just (or almost) the same as a dialog:a dialog template where you can place the child controls

As Victor already said, if you have a form view (which is based on a dialog resource), you can easily put a slider as well as any other type of controls in its client area.
Otherwise, put it in a dialog bar (also based on a dialog resource), which can be docked in the view's parent frame.
Here is attached a demo project that uses slider controls for resizing thumbnail images and shadows in a view: http://codexpert.ro/blog/2015/07/03/...wing-with-mfc/
It's an SDI application but it's easy to put dialog bars also in MDI clild frames, in the same way.
