Edit Control displaying improperly

[Fumio]

Hello all
In my project, I created a dialog which includes RAfileBrowser, Listbox, and two buttons and program executes as expected. It's a rough start to file backup program.
I decided to add an edit control to display the backup path. I'm using RadAsm V2.2.1.5. When compiled the edit control doesn't display until I click on the area where it
should be. Then it shows as only a fraction of the height that it should be. However when right_clicking on the control and selecting right-to-left text reading the control
becomes completely visible. Deselecting right-to-left and the control functions properly.
Any Ideas?

Hi Fumio

Is your edit control coverd by amother control, like a static?

Hello Ketilo
Nothing is covering the edit control.
I have attached a zip file showing how the edit control looks when dialog is initially displayed
and after it is filled via program. Also a jpg of dialog in resource editor.
It does work, but initial display is incorrect.

Hi Fumio

Setting the clipping property of the dialog to botth will probably do the trick.

Hello Ketilo:
Setting clipping to both had no effect.
One other piece of information; I am using "DialogBoxParam" to create the dialog that displays incorrectly.
If i use "CreateDialogParam" everything displays correctly.

Hi Fumio

This tells me there is something wrong with your dialog callback.

A typical modal callback looks like this:

Code Select Expand


.386
.model flat, stdcall  ;32 bit memory model
option casemap :none  ;case sensitive

include About.inc

.code

start:
invoke GetModuleHandle,NULL
mov hInstance,eax
invoke InitCommonControls
invoke DialogBoxParam,hInstance,IDD_MAIN,NULL,addr DlgProc,NULL
invoke ExitProcess,0

;########################################################################

DlgProc proc hWin:HWND,uMsg:UINT,wParam:WPARAM,lParam:LPARAM

mov eax,uMsg
.IF eax==WM_INITDIALOG
;initialization here
.ELSEIF eax==WM_COMMAND
mov edx,wParam
movzx eax,dx
shr edx,16
.IF edx==BN_CLICKED
.IF eax==IDOK

.ELSEIF eax==IDCANCEL
invoke SendMessage,hWin,WM_CLOSE,NULL,NULL
.ENDIF
.ENDIF
.ELSEIF eax==WM_CLOSE
invoke EndDialog,hWin,0
.ELSE
mov eax,FALSE
ret
.ENDIF
mov eax,TRUE
ret
DlgProc endp

end start

Hello Ketil0
I sent the control "SendDlgItemMessage,hWin,1005,WM_SETTEXT,0,offset Success"  in WM_INITDIALOG segment and control
appears correctly with caption Success. Why would this not work when caption was set in resource editor?

Hi Fumio

There is no way to tell whats wrong without having a look at your sources.
