Creating CEdit dynamically

#1 28-Oct-2005, 03:12

Hi.

I try to create a dynamic CEdit control using the .Create() method, and it is created ok, BUT, I only manage to create the control with a black line border and not as nice as if I would create it from the tools-box then it would have a 3d look or some kind of depth...what style or what do I have to do in order to make it look as if I would create it from the tools-box ??

Thanks.

shvalb,

The 3D border is an extended style, so you can either add the extended style to the Edit you created or use the Edit's CreateEx funtion.

To get the edit to look like the edit from the tool box you also have to set the font of the window.

Here is a small sample.

CPP / C++ / C Code:

m_dynEdit.CreateEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, _T("EDIT"), _T("Initial text"), 
	ES_MULTILINE | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | WS_BORDER,
	CRect(10, 10, 100, 100), this, 1);

if(::IsWindow(m_dynEdit.GetSafeHwnd()))
{
	::SendMessage(m_dynEdit.GetSafeHwnd(), WM_SETFONT,
		(WPARAM)(HFONT)GetStockObject(DEFAULT_GUI_FONT), FALSE);
}
