How to Add Controls in MFC
One common method of adding controls in MFC is through the resource editor. Here are the general steps for adding controls:
- .rc is an abbreviation commonly used in computer programming to refer to a configuration file.
- Conversation
- Choose the location on the dialog box where you want to add a control, and select the appropriate control tool from the toolbar (such as a button, edit box, list box, etc.).
- Click and drag to create a control on the dialog box and adjust its size and position.
- Set the properties of the control in the attribute window, including the control’s ID, style, initial text, etc.
- Save the changes and recompile your project.
In addition to using a resource editor, you can also dynamically add controls at runtime through programming. This involves creating instances of control classes in MFC (such as CButton, CEdit, etc.) and adding them to a dialog. You can set the control’s properties when needed and handle its events.
