hi, i am developing a simple multi-player game using the win32 api and direct. before actually starting the game the user is asked to enter the host ip number in a edit box. however, since there is a ip address control i would prefer to use it instead. how do i implement it in my application? whenever i try, it doesn''t show up on screen, and when i try to add it to a dialog resource the dialog box never appear on screen (it works fine without the ip address control though!). please give me a hand!
