Hi,

I need to crop a child control (a CEdit) in CDialog. I don't want to resize it. Say the bounds of the child control CRect(10, 10, 100, 100) in dialog's client coordinate. Now I want it to crop so that it only paints in CRect(30, 30, 70, 70).

I think I need to use CRgn. But now sure exactly how I would do it.

Thanks in advance.

None of the child controls should be cropped. They are not designed to be.

Hi, It seems I cannot enter code in qestion/answere. So please have a look at this post: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2095/A-Guide-to-WIN32-Clipping-Regions?msg=4638230#xx4638230xx

This is not the way to use a dialog. Either fix the size at design time, or use a normal Window.

Well I guess you did not read my comment, or that of Gospodin Kryukov.
