Edit Box size

[Visual C]

how can i change the size of my edit control accordingly when the user maximises or restores the dialog window. I tried to use WM_SIZE, but I am not able to implement it. Pl help.

hi
use SetWindowPos() function for this:
sample code:

CWnd *myEdit=GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
myEdit->SetWindowPos(,,,,);

See this SetWindowPos() in msdn for details

I tried to use your suggestion in the way
CWnd *myEditBox = GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
myEditBox->SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost,0,0,200,500,SWP_SHOWWINDOW);


but it gives memory error. I wrote the about func in the OnSize mess handler.

do it as in OnSize



CEdit* edit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(ID_OF_UR_CONTROL);
if(edit)
{
//x = left;
//y = top;
//cx = right;
//cy = bottom;

edit->MoveWindow(x,y,cx,cy);
}




Hope this helps
