CreateWindowEx Edit Disappearing

[Cliff Nichols]

I am going back over old code and instead of DDT style I am creating my windows SDK style but I have run into an odd problem that I just can not seem to solve.

If I create an "Edit" window via

     hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WindowStyleEx, "Edit", BYCOPY szWindowName, WindowStyle, x, y, cx, cy, HwndDlgJog, %TxtVelocity, hInst, BYVAL %NULL)

then my window appears, but then I found what I think is the callback is going to whatever callback the "Edit" class was registered with???

So I tried to subclass to redirect the callback to my proc, but when I do the window disappears.

Any ideas what message I am not handling that obviously the "Edit" callback is handling?????

What 'callback' ??

That control will send WM_COMMAND/code notifications to the window/dialog procedure for 'HwndDlgJog.'

If you subclass it, your subclass window procedure will get the opportunity to process notifications sent directly to the control , notifications normally handled "transparent to you" by the window procedure for the "edit" class.

I think the bottom line here is
- Your window style omitted WS_CHILD
- Your subclass procedure is written improperly (not calling CallWindowProc?)
- Your message loop is incorrect.
- You have committed some other no-no somewhere in the "code not shown."

The one that comes from your brain telling you to "post the source code"?

You guys are probably right, but I do have to trim down to show code
(more than likely I will find the problem myself just trimming down to show *LOL*)

either way, I will see what I can do, I just thought maybe I was overlooking some obvious ideas (to those that know) that I may have been missing before I try to trim down.
