Hello,

This is most probably a silly question, but i have a problem with a dialog box.

I created a new project using the wizard (Dialog Box template).

In this example, when you select the about menuitem, the application displays a dialog box, containing an editbox, and 2 buttons.

I tried to add some controls (without any code change).
Buttons, scrollbars, Edit, static text : OK

When adding a slider, a progressbar, a status bar, a richedit control, the dialog box does not display anymore.

I am sure i am doing something wrong, but what?

Thanks for the help

Hi,

You don't do something wrong, you just don't do everything

In your code, place

Invoke InitCommonControlsEx, ADDR icce
or
Invoke InitCommonControls

(depending on which common controls you are using

To be able to use richedit, you need to

Invoke LoadLibrary,ADDR szRichEdit
MOV hRichEd,EAX



Do not forget to use Invoke FreeLibrary,hRichEd before your program terminates

Cheers,

Antonis
