Re: TextBox creation, w/o resource editor?

[mla154]

Hello, The check boxes provided in the resource editor are pretty, but I would like to create check boxes without using the resource editor (dynamically). How do I do this? Any help is appreciated.

Need to use CButton class with BS_CHECKBOX style . e.g.

// Create check box.
m_Button.Create(_T("Check Box"), WS_CHILD |WS_VISIBLE|BS_CHECKBOX,
CRect(10,10,100,30), pParentWnd, 1);

Hello, I put the following code into CPrintOptionsDlg::OnInitDialog() CButton m_Button; // Create check box. m_Button.Create(_T("Check Box"), WS_CHILD |WS_VISIBLE|BS_CHECKBOX, CRect(0,0,10,30), this, 1); However, I didn't see the check box. Any ideas? My CPrintOptionsDlg class is derived from CDialog.

Did you call CDialog::OnInitDialog() before creating the button?

[mla154]

Yes, I did. My function looks like this: BOOL CPrintOptionsDlg::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); CButton m_Button; // Create check box. m_Button.Create(_T("Check Box"), WS_CHILD |WS_VISIBLE/*|BS_CHECKBOX*/, CRect(0,0,10,30), this, 1); return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control // EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE }

your CButton object is going out of scope (so it is destroyed) when the OnInitDialog() method returns. Try moving CButton m_Button; to your class definition (so it's a member of your CPrintOptionsDlg class).

Try this

CButton m_Button;
m_Button.Create("Test",WS_CHILD|BS_AUTOCHECKBOX|WS_VISIBLE,CRect(0,0,100,23),this,1);

It works. Thanks.

I've mentioned CButton variable name as m_Button, which implies its a class member variable.
