Custom control problem

[followait]

The custom control is associated with a class derived from CScrollView, works fine, but when I try to handle WM_CREATE in OnCreate, I found that OnCreate isn't called. I don't know where to put the initial code after the control is created and before displayed. Thanks for help.

You can try to call CView::OnInitialUpdate It is called before the control is displayed. Cheers, Allad

If your custom control is on a dialog or form view (created from a dialog template) then your class's OnCreate() is never called. That is because the contol window is created when the dialog is created, and then your control subclasses the window. Use PreSubclassWindow to handle the code that you would normally handle in OnCreate.

It's not called either. PreSubClassWindow is ok.

Thanks for your help.

Because when your class is ready to handle messages, the control has already been created. So you should insert your initlizing code in PreSubClassWindow().
