MFC, Adding combo boxes to dialog at runtime

Adding combo boxes to dialog at runtime

Marti #1 / 5	Adding combo boxes to dialog at runtime Hi, I have a modal dialog in which there is a combo box and an edit box. When I click a button named "More" I want to increase the size of the dialog window and add an extra combo box and an edit field, and also move the "More" button. Does anyone know how to to this? It would be even better if you'd have some sample code for me or some useful link perhaps. For an illustration of my problem, please check the search function for mail in Netcape (menu choice 'View'->'Search Messages'). I want to do exactly that! Cheers, Martin

Check Abdou #2 / 5	Adding combo boxes to dialog at runtime The simplest way is to have hidden combo box and edit field. During OnInitDialog() set the combo box size to the minimum size. which does not include the hidden fields. On click of the more button, use SetWindowPos() or MoveWindow() to resize the dialog box and also make the hidden fields visible. Use MoveWindow() on the More button to move it.

Marti #3 / 5	Adding combo boxes to dialog at runtime I guess it would work to add a number of hidden combo boxes that I show one at a time when clicking the "More" button. The thing is that I would like to be able to add an arbitrary number of boxes, not just a maximum of say 10 (or how many one chooses to add in the dialog creation). Any suggestions on how to solve the 'arbitrary number of combo boxes' problem would be greatly appreciated!

Ron Gora #4 / 5	Adding combo boxes to dialog at runtime Perhaps the easiest thing would be to create a load a new dialog box. If there is user input from the original one, save it in member variables or a struct then reload that into the new dialog.
