ok, thank you. That worked (also after I re-read the tutorial that I got on how to do the status bar).Originally posted by Ken Fitlike
>>my status bar is like duplicated (it resizes correctly, but it sticks a copy of itself where it was before resize until I move the cursor down there.<<
Then adjust the size/position of your edit control to take into consideration any other controls, including your status bar, that occupy the client area of the parent window. Use GetClientRect to get the dimensions of the statusbar control.
edit:
>> Also, if a user selects a button to insert something, I'd use WM_GETTEXT and WM_SETTEXT, wouldn't I (to add the text the user selected)?<<
Time to read up on edit controls.
Thanks for the link also
