mfc >> cannot create a child window

by May Young » Wed, 03 Dec 2003 10:49:55 GMT

Hi,

In the rbuttondown event handler of a CView derived class, I intend to
create a child window as below. No matter how I adjust the CRect or
class name, the child window cannot show up. I specify WS_EX_TOPMOST
but see the child window maximized and then immediately hidden by the
CView derived class. Do you know why? Thanks for your help.

// m_wnd is a CWnd member in the CView derived class
CRect rect(32, 64, 152, 154);
//CalcWindowRect(&rect);
m_wnd.CreateEx(WS_EX_TOPMOST, _T("LISTBOX"), _T("My Window Title"),
WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD, rect, this, 0);
//m_wnd.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_wnd.ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);

Tony

Never mind. I forget to specify the boarder option. Sorry for this post.

4. Child Window Cannot Receive Messages

5. How to make a new document window be a child of an MDI child window 

I registered a document template in InitInstance(). 

In onFileNew(), I first created an MDI child window, then 
use OpenDocumentFile(NULL) to create a new empty document 
(not necessarilly an MDI child). Both works fine. 

However, when I tried to make this new empty document 
window a child of the MDI child window, (which was created 
in the same onFileNew()), I could not.

Could anyone please tell me how to do it? I tried a couple 
of ways, and no luck. Thanks a lot.

Andrew
