Question about Group boxes

[Luis E Cuadrado]

Hello Everybody: I want to have a group box that becomes visible and invisible by clicking another object (it could be a button or even an Bitmap with WM_LBUTTONDOWN maybe). Is there a way that I can do this? If so, can you give me a quick example? Regards, Luis E. Cuadrado :0)

The thing seems simple. Where are you stuck? Showing/hiding a control (or any window) can be achieved with ShowWindow. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Thanks for the quick reply. Well, I'm stuck in showing and hiding the control itself. I'm not sure if a group box is considered a CStatic class, or a CButton class. But what I'm planning to do is in a Dialog, to have a Button or a Bitmap control and when I click that control the group box will appear. If you need more info, let me know. Gracias, Luis E.

Insert the group box into your dialog resource. Then, anywhere inside the dialog code, GetDlgItem(IDC_YOUR_GROUP_BOX) (or whatever identifier the box has) will give you a CWnd * on which you can call ShowWindow. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Just to make sure. Are you aware that showing and hiding a group box will not show or hide the controls in that box? Asim Hussain e: asim@jawache.net w: www.jawache.net
