corner of the parent window. The horizontal measurements move from the origin to the

right. The vertical measurements move from the origin to the bottom:

If you are programmatically creating the control, to set its location, if you are using the

CreateWindow(), the CreateWindowEx() functions, or the first version of the

CreateEx() method, specify the value for the distance from the left border of the body of

the parent to the left border of the control, and pass the desired value for the upper

distance from the top border of the body of the parent to the top border of the control.

Here is an example:

BOOL CBordersDlg::OnInitDialog()

{

CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here

CWnd* Panel = new CStatic;

Panel->CreateEx(NULL, "STATIC", NULL,

WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER,

32, 15, );

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control

// EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE
