EDIT control won't work under a child window

[scott987uk]

hi all, i hope im posting under the right forum here. sorry if i an't. im trying to create a EDIT (text box) control using createwindow but am having a few probs. if i create the edit control and display it on the parent window all is ok. if i display the edit control with a child window the the parent all is ok as long as i don't give the child window the property WS_CAPTION. if WS_CAPTION is not part of the child windows style all is ok, but if its added the edit control no longer works. Its displayed but you are unable to type in it. any one any ideas plz ? any help would be grate thx Scott

id try using Create(WS_CHILD|....) Engineering is the effort !

from MSDN docs CEdit::Create Apply the following window styles to an edit control. WS_CHILD Always WS_VISIBLE Usually WS_DISABLED Rarely WS_GROUP To group controls WS_TABSTOP To include edit control in the tabbing order Engineering is the effort !
