How to change the position and size of static element in dialog based Mfc?

I have a CStatic box by drag and drop now I want to change the position and size of that element in the code. How can I do this?

C++

CStatic *pWnd= (CStatic *)GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_PICTURE); //Id of CStatic Control
	pWnd->GetClientRect(rcRect);
	pWnd->ClientToScreen(rcRect);

I got rcRect but how to set the new rect value what is the function used to set new rect values.

Make sure that you're properly changing coordinate systems between client and screen. ScreenToClient() ClientToScreen()...

Solution 2

CRect rc;
CWnd *wnd = GetDlgItem(IDYES);
wnd->GetWindowRect(&rc);
ScreenToClient(rc);
wnd->SetWindowPos(NULL, rc.left, rc.top+10, rc.Width(), rc.Height(), SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
