Hello everyone
I want create windows API application and put singleline edit controls on it.
The edit controls should have two arrows at sides to scroll horizontally using mouse. I could not find any edit styles to do this in windows edit controls. Is there any other way to do this, other than creating customized controls?
Thanks in advanse

Edit:
my code to create edit control as this:
int iStyleEx = WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE;
int iStyle = WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | ES_AUTOHSCROLL;
static wchar_t wszBuffer[400];
HWND hWndEdit = CreateWindowExW( iStyleEx, L"EDIT", wszBuffer, iSstyle,
cpx, cpy, cpWidth, cpHeight, hwndDlg, NULL, hInst, NULL );
As there is no simple way to add arrows to both sides of edit control to scroll horizontally, I think the best way to solve this problem is to create two button controls to left and right of edit control, and handle their WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP events.
The button controls should paint arrows.
