Setting Text Controls X and Y Position in a Dialog Window
-
I have a Visual C++ application running in Visual Studio.net. It will have numerous dialog windows that will display labels and data. The labels and data will be displayed in Text Controls. There are IDC_XXX names for the labels and data. What I need to do is dynamically place the labels and data on the Windows dialog given X and Y coordinates. I cant use a static dialog in my rc resource file. QUESTION: Can I move the controls on the dialog given X, Y coordinates? If so, can someone tell me how this is done??...and how the X, Y system works in a dialog window. Where is 0,0 etc...?? Thanks, Jerry :)

Just above and to the left of 1,1 Use
SetWindowPos()orMoveWindow(), don't ask me for an example, ask your teacher. -

Are you looking for
MoveWindow()orSetWindowPos()?

Actually what I have is a dialog window with no controls at this point. I want to write text, numbers, etc to the window, using X, Y coordinates. I thought I could do this but have forgotten how... :) Jerry

The only other way I know of is with
TextOut()orDrawText().

I can use that Ok, but I need to get the device context for the dialog I created. Is there a call to get the device context? Thanks. Jerry
