How do I Locate a Text box in a Big project based on the display of it at runtime?

[Sivaraman Dhamodaran]

I had a dialog displayed at runtime in my Application and that contains textbox item in it. I need to locate the text item in my project. My project contains several dialogs ( say 700). How do I locate the textbox ( Window) in the design environment. Is there any easy method avaiable for that. I can able to get the details of that text item using spy++. But I donno how to fix the window in design mode. Thanks in advance.

Just to clarify: you hav an app holding lots of dialogs, one of them has a problem you want to fix, but you cannot find which it is. -> 1. Stepdebug until you find it ? -> 2. Are the dialog created using the resource editor, or arethey created dynamically at runtime ?

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus

Locate the control id using Spy++ then open up resource.h find the corresponding name with that ID then find all instances of that name this will greatly narrow the search. does this help

Thanks G_S. I converted the control ID into Decimal ( Spy++ displays the CID in Hex.) and fixed the control.. Thanks a Lot.
