    Unhappy Hiding Edit boxes in VC++

    How do I hide an edit box using code, not by checking/unchecking the visible box in the Edit Properties box.

    I'm trying to write an if statement to determine whether or not a box should be visible.

    Lightbulb Try this...

    To hide it:

    ShowWindow(edit_handle, SW_HIDE);

    To show it again:

    ShowWindow(edit_handle, SW_SHOW);

    I hope this helps!

    ShowWindow(GetDlgItem(hwnd, ID_OF_CONTROL),SW_HIDE);
    Sometimes, the farthest point from the center is the center itself.
