Then, why you are creating it ? 
You can use ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) though.

Hi,
I dont want to hide the entire window instead of that I have to hide a dialog control...

this is the same function to use... 
CButton* pButton = GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_BUTTON);
pButton->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

Thanks,
It's working but we have create instance for CWnd,
CWnd* pButton = GetDlgItem(IDC_MDGRPX1);
pButton->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

Toxxct was saying same thing,
CButton* pButton = dynamic_cast<CButton*> (GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_BUTTON)); pButton->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
As window returned will be of type CButton in this, you need to use cast operator.

actually, no. the GetDlgItem() function always returns a CWnd*, but thanks to polymorphism, every CWnd inherited classes, you don't need to cast explicitely.
however, and your code is good on this, I always prefer to explicitely type cast because the person who will re-read the code later can understand easily what we wanted to do there.

You are not getting my point. In Case of buttons, pointer returned will of of CButton type. Remember thats why down casting it to(dynamic_cast) CButton* is succesful. Otherwise it would have made it NULL
toxcct wrote: every CWnd inherited classes, you don't need to cast explicitely.
Unless you needed functions from CWnd class. To
To understand, what I wanted to say, see pointer returned by GetDlgItem in debugger window.

is it ?
does the CButton class overload the GetDlgItem() function ? i don't think so.
I still think all that is done here happens because of polymorphism (or i still don't get your point...  )
BTW, i don't have an IDE with me, so not able to test anything.
but what i think you see in the debugger is because you assign it to a CButton* pointer. what if you assign a CWnd* variable ?

Yup. dynamic cast fails in case of inapproriate down casting. For example, if you changed original code to,
CListBox* pWnd = dynamic_cast<CListBox*>(GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON1)); here pWnd will be NULL because GetDlgItem is not returning pointer of type CListBox( hope you get my point).

No it doesn't. I'm not saying that.

This much only I can explain to make you understand.

In order to understand why this happens, you have to know what GetDlgItem() is actually doing. GetDlgItem() will always return a CWnd*, but may or may not return a CButton* or CListBox*. When you call GetDlgItem(), MFC searches the map of window handles for an existing object that is bound to the specified window handle. If one exists, a CTempWnd object is created and returned. If an object is already bound to it, a pointer to that existing object is returned. This means that if there was already a CButton class bound to the IDC_BUTTON1 control, and then called GetDlgItem(), you would get back a a pointer to a CButton object, the one that is already bound to the control.

I was knowing this part only. To be honest.
Thanks for info.
But this leads to one doubt from my side. If control is not bound to any object then it will return CWnd*, in that case is it not possible to cast it to control class(CButton for instance) and then use its functions? That may be needed some time.

Not sure why you would want to do this. I always bind each control to a CWnd object so I don't encounter such problems.

Consider, its a check box. In this case to use SetCheck control type might needed of type CButton, I know that, SendMessage can be used in this case down casting would be appropriate, I feel. But it woould be not possible if its associated with CWnd object.

In that case, I guess using CWnd* is not needed, too. Simply work in windows handles, like good old win32 API's.
Anyway, Nice to know some new things.

GetDlgItem() does not always return a CButton pointer. In any case, the cast is not necessary. Simply use:
CWnd* pButton = GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_BUTTON);
pButton->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

ShowWindow is member of Cwnd, so should not be problem with dialog control.

Dear All,
I am working on a screen capture project.
I am facing a problem of capturing a Menu window of a specific window.
Can any one help me out for a solution?
I am using only Win32-sdk for the assignment.
Thankz in advance,

Use Windows API (SHGetSpecialFolderPath IIRC) to get the location of the folder "Programs" and create there a subdirectory where you will create a shortcut to your documents.

CComboBox::GetCurSel() would return the index of the selected item in the combo box.
You can override the CBN_SELCHANGE message. When you get this message set the corresponding radio button as selected.
I hope that I understood you correctly...
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

in continuation with Anshuman... you have to you have to develop some sort of data structure which will keep you question, 3 choices and correct answer. also you have to associate the radio button with control variable of type CButton.. using CButton::SetWindowText().. you can change text of that radio at runtime when ever new question is selected!
