Creating a text box. How to ?

o.s win 98
compiler: dev-C++ version 4
level : keen newbie

Hello,

I’ve just started to look at win apps. My question is how do you create a control ( textbox)? I spent some time reading MSDN library, but I could not implement their suggestions. It seemed to be referring to MFC


Thanks

TO create a textbox using the API us ethe CreateWindow API with the string EDIT as the classname.

Example:

Code:

---

HWND TextBox;
TextBox = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "Edit", "This is the text that is in the text box", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, x, y, w, h, HWNDofYOURform, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

Thanks Vlatko and Steve !
