Hi 嗷呜的土拨鼠,

There are many controls in MFC, which are only a part of controls in Toolbox, and many controls need to be manually created by you.

Here I will show you how to create a control manually:

CEdit m_edit;
CRect rect(85, 110, 180, 210);

   m_edit.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP |
                     ES_AUTOHSCROLL | WS_BORDER,
                 rect, this, IDC_EXTRA_EDIT);
   m_edit.SetFocus();

The above code can create a CEdit control. You could click on the hyperlink on the left of this document, there are many MFC classes for you to learn.

Best regards,

Elya
