in a dialog based MFC application, i've two controls, an edit box and a spin ctrl. i set the edit box as a spin ctrl's buddy and set the spin ctrl's range from -10 to 10. do i need to do anything more to show the value of pos of the spin ctrl in the edit box? if so, why and what? the spin ctrl knows everything for handling the value inside the edit box, but it doesn't show anything inside it. why?

Did you also set the UDS_AUTOBUDDY[^] property on your spin control?

That's not necessary if you set the buddy control manually.

Yes, but OP is not doing that, hence his question.

yes, but it has no effect

Solution 2

You need to set the Set Buddy Integer property of the spin control to True.
To set the initial value to a particular value other than 0, use the SetPos function of the spin control.

what's Set Buddy Integer property of the spin ctrl and how can i set it?

Select the spin control in the dialog template and press F4 to go to the properties window. There you can see the said property called Set Buddy Integer. By default its value is False. You can change that to be True.
