Re: Problem dynamically creating CStatic Label: (FAIL afxwin1.inl

Hi David,

Thanks for answering!

I understand the mechanism for handling the CTLCOLORSTATIC message.

But I don't understand how to create the control.

You say "Just put an ordinary static text box on the dialog template, ".
What is the dialog template? Is it the graphical form designer? I have
never used this (I'm coming from a microcontroller c++ background). Does
this mean I have to create a form with the label on it visually, and it
'compiles' into some kind of resource file, then from my code I can reference
the objects? Please can you link me to somewhere I can understand this
process? Sorry for being totally clueless here...

I would very much like to do everything from the code. In my target app,
everything is created from the code: I don't want to create some form on a
visual designer - the objects already exist in the c++ code. I don't know
what I'd have to do to tie everything together.

Surely I can create this object on the fly, no? I can't see why my code
fails.
