Hi All

My problem is simple to explain. In my dialog based app I create a control using CWnd::Create function. It creates it propperly but with no border, I've added WS_BORDER style to the CWnd::Create call but no change, it's still without border. I've tried clling ModifyStyle(0, WS_BORDER) but no result again. I've googled the problem but nothing came out.

Any help will be appreciated!

Solution 2

I've found the solution myself, here it is:

CWnd::CreateEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "STATIC", "", uiFlags, refRect, pParent, uiID);

So if you want to create control with sunken border that the style is WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE not WS_BORDER ;)

Solution 1

Try using CreateEx or ModifyStyleEx

No result. Besides WS_BORDER isn't an extended style, it's basic style, but anyway thanks for the try :)
