mfc >> CEdit position

by ArtuS » Sun, 23 Nov 2003 09:55:04 GMT

I have some CEdit in my dialog. I need to know what is a x&y point and
width&height one of these CEdits (for example CEdit one;). I want to draw a
point (few pixels) in a middle of that CEdit so I must know where is a
center of this component.

Can you help me?

CRect rect;
GetDlgItem(IDC_OONE)->GetWindowRect(&rect);
CPoint pt = rect.CenterPoint();
ScreenToClient(&pt);

CEdit position

And what makes you think that doing your own drawing is going to work? Edit controls paint
themselves whenever they feel like it, and doing your own drawing risks the fact that
mechanisms entirely outside your control are free to overwrite whatever you do.

I'd be inclined to paint on a transparent window which is on top of the edit control, or
something similar. Since I don't ever have a desire to draw on edit controls, I've never
experimented with this, but I believe you are in for some serious frustrations.

5. Cursor position in a single line CEdit control 

I have a situation where I need to examine and possibly modify,
programmatically, the text of a CEdit control.  If a change is made,
usually removing a character that has just been typed as being
erroneous, the edit cursor jumps to the beginning of the display.  I
need to know how to get the position of the character cursor at the
time of the entry and how to set it when I've changed the text.  There
appear to be functions for this with a multi-line CEdit control but
nothing is said about a single line control.
