Problem with CBitmapButton

[john5632]

I created a button using CBitmapButton and set it to BS_OWNERDRAW but it is not shown on the dialog box. CBitmapButton m_Btn1; ... ... ... m_Btn1.Create("",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW,CRect(0,10,30,50),this,IDC_BUTTON3); m_Btn1.LoadBitmaps(IDB_BITMAP1,IDB_BITMAP2,NULL,NULL);

I've made a test with your code (using MSVC++ 6.0) : class CMyDialog : public CDialog { : // somewhere CBitmapButton m_Btn1; : } BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); : m_Btn1.Create("",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_OWNERDRAW,CRect(0,10,30,50),this,12345); m_Btn1.LoadBitmaps(IDB_BITMAP_TEST1,IDB_BITMAP_TEST2); : return TRUE; } ... and it work's fine. Only thing is, that the button's coords a relative to the client area of the dialog ... means the button with CRect(0,10,30,50) appears in the upper left corner of the dialog. Are you sure that it is not shown ? Or is it hidden by an other control / item ? :confused:

CBitmapButton m_Btn1; may be the local variable, got destroyed when out of scope.

How did you declare m_Btn1?
