Text Box

[DrIdiot]

How do I get a text box in windows API in a dialog box?

This is my RC file:

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"

IDI_MYICON ICON "icon.ico"

IDD_CONSTANT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 300, 200
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Graph Constant Function"
FONT 8, "Times New Roman"
BEGIN
DEFPUSHBUTTON "&OK", IDOK, 174, 18, 50, 14
PUSHBUTTON "&Cancel", IDCANCEL, 174, 35, 50, 14
// GROUPBOX "Constant Toolkit Function", IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 225, 52
// CTEXT "f(x) = 0\ny = Af(Bx + C) + D", IDC_STATIC, 16, 18, 144, 33
END


(the last two are commented out because my compiler gave me a parse error for them. if you know why, help would also be appreciated)

thanks!

You're probably looking for EDITTEXT. However, how are you creating those rc files? Why don't you use the resource editor for that?

I dont have MS visual C++.

But I got it to work now.

Thanks a lot!
