    Clearing a Screen of Controls

    Hi guys, I was wondering if there was an easy way of clearing a screen that had controls setup on it, like editboxes and static controls and all of the other Windows class structures there are

    Thanks in advance for the help

    ShowWindow(hControl, FALSE);

    Or something similar. I haven't programmed in a while.

    I'm not certain why boolean values work, but they do. I think correctly it should be SW_SHOW or SW_HIDE.

    I tend to do it both ways....

    I'm sorry, this is a bad habit I've taken. SW_HIDE must be defined as 0. I'm not even sure this is guaranteed to be true. SW_HIDE and SW_SHOW are better.
