I have a project in Visual Studio. There is a dialog that I created in the designer view, which results in a bunch of IDs and properties in the .rc file. One of the controls is an edit box with ES_NUMBER set.
How can I set a min and max? All the answers I see are for programmatically created controls where one subclasses CEdit. Is it even possible to spawn a subclassed edit control when using the .rc?
Use a auto-buddy Up-Down control.

I have to create a Win32 app for a college class.
I created the "Windows Desktop Application" in the create project section of the Visual Studio Community 2019 and it comes already with a standard dialog that can be tested on the go. Problem is: I cannot edit the main dialog. I can create another dialog and edit it but the main one is not accessible in the resource editor. What can I do? I can't find anything on google. Please help.
The main window of the default application created by the "Windows Desktop Application" project template in Visual Studio is not created with a dialog resource. It is created by registering a window class associated with a window procedure, as is standard when creating a desktop application.
You "edit" that window by changing the source code not with a visual editor.
>>I cannot edit the main dialog. I can create another dialog and edit it but the main one is not accessible in the resource editor.
Yes you can create it, but it has no class and can't be an object.You can try to create a Win32 desktop application, and then create a dialog. When you right-click the dialog box, you will find that you cannot add class.
If you want to use this dialog, you can only use this function DialogBoxW(hInstance, lpTemplate, hWndParent, lpDialogFunc) to create and show the dialog in your program. The third parameter is the Handle of parent window and it can be NULL. The forth parameter is the callback function.
So we test to call DialogBoxW in WinMain. You can check the picture below. We abandoned the traditional Win32 framework and made the custom window our main window. It work.
However, it should be noted that windows created in this form are modal, which is not applicable in many scenarios. What you say and what you want to do may be better done with MFC. Win32 does not encapsulate many interfaces like MFC for you to call.
I use Visual Studio 2013 Enterprise, but the procedures will be the same:
1 - On the Solution Explorer, click on the .RC file
2 - In the new window (Resource View), click in Dialog
3 - Double-click the dialog you want to edit...
That´s it...
I am creating modelless child dialog.For achieveing tab order, while creating dialog I need to add DS_CONTROL style programmatically.
I have overridden PreSubClassWindow and added the style but it is not working whereas If I set DS_CONTROL in resource properties, tab order is working fine.
As per my requirement (since I am creating custom dialog), I should not set in resource properties.
Please anyone help me to achieve my requirement.
I'm using visual studio 2010 and i'M creating aN MFC dialog based application. Everything was working fine until recently when the add variable wizard stopped showing up when we right click on a control in main dialog and choose add variable.
I have 3 dialogs in the project. The add variable wizard shows up for the other dialogs. Only for the main dialog the wizard is not showing up, ie. nothing
is happening when we right click and choose add variable on say picture control embedded in main dialog.
I'm using 64 bit Windows 7.
The problem was ID mismatch(ID of main dialog) in the properties of dialog and the header of the corresponding class of the dialog. It is fixed and is working correctly now.
I have created a Control panel applet. The icon is placed in the control panel. When I double click my icon, it just opens a notepad application.
What I have to implement is, when I double click on my icon, it should open the GUI similar to the UI of other the Control panel (Power options of control panel.)
My question is, do I need to create a separate windows forms application? or any other way is there?
Creating address bar similar to explorer is not possible, since MS has not exposed such control.
You can take a look at the following link...
MFC: Address Bar control like Windows Explorer
I am using Xtreme Toolkit Pro for creating docking pane in my MFC application.

If any one has an experience in this or relevant area please share it with me.

Through the builtin dialog editor you can create a window with multiple control
Make sure the properties Appearance>Style is set to "Child" and Behavior>SystemModal is set to "False".
Then just attach the Dialog window handle to the docking pane.
