setting dialog size at run time

[swaapu]

Hi!! I m working on an mfc sdi application. I hav a dialog in which , i have "SHOW FILE" button. On it`s click event, i want to show the file on the same dialog. But, before clicking the "SHOW FILE" button, i want a small dialog only. Now, I hav two problems: 1. In which control, should I display(show) the file to the user? 2. How to set the dialog size at run time? Thanx a lot "If you change then change for the good."

ABout your first question which type of file do you want to display? image file, text file, HTML file.... for changing the dialog box size... MoveWindow() SetWindowPos() ...

Hello For Text File you can use CEdit Control with Multiline option set. Or if your file size is large and you want some extra thigs to display like changing the colour of text ... you car use RichEditControl. Regards Anil
