Hello, my question is not about games, but i hope you guys help me. i made a main window, and then a child window of clas edit, and embbeded into the main window, you know, something like notepad, my problem is that when i maximize the main window the edit window does not expand to cover the new client area, some help?. Thanks in advanced!.I used all the updates, redraw function, etc and still don''t work. "I stole the colour of night,to get out of your sight.I am the Visionaire, follow me if you dare..."

Why should it? It''s just as reasonable for the child window to stay just like it is as it is for the window to automagically more around based on the parent.

You need to watch for a WM_SIZE message in the parent window and when you get it redo the layout of the child windows the way you want them. If you''re a MFC guy you do this by overriding OnSize. There may be some MFC stuff to arrange your windows for you, I don''t really know.

Try this:

static HWND hEdit1;

case WM_SIZE:
MoveWindow(hEdit1, 0, 0, LOWORD(lParam), HIWORD(lParam), TRUE);
break;


Well, that''s how I do it. Simple.
