Does the form class have an HWND data member that can be specified as the parent of the control created at run time?

If yes can the function movewindow be used on such control.

Please one last question.Will the control created at run time be scrollable across the form?

I ask this because I understand that the form created using CFormView are scrollable.

There is no difference between controls that have been created by the template mechanism and controls that have been created dynamically. From the viewpoint of the operating system they are all the same controls and don't behave differently.

You can use the CreateWindow API to create a window, dialog and controls.
Every thing is a window in Windows, unlike other OSs.
I've done just that in this article - Mousey! Roll Over and Park[^]

The article doesn't use MFC, but the same can be done using the CWnd::Create method, which the CFormView class indirectly inherits.

We have an article on this argument: "Create, Position, Show and Hide controls at Runtime using the RollOut Window"[^].
