Radio Buitton Text doesn't show!!!

[xandaz]

   Why the hell doesnt the radiobutton's text show? This should be a pretty simple proceeding.

    inv. CreateWindowEx,NULL,addr ButtonClass,addr ButtonText,WS_VISIBLE+WS_CHILD+BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,\
        NULL,NULL,10,10,hWnd,BtnID,hInstance,NULL
    mov hBtn,eax

    I've tried several things such as WM_SETTEXT, BS_TEXT, BS_RIGHT etc. When i choose the button, the focus rect appears shrunk around text that doesnt appear.
    Can someone help?

The only problem I can see is that the specified width is not enough to contain the text.

I agree, a 10x10 square will only just display the radio button itself, let alone any text.

Yep,

The window size is too small to show much else than the bare radio button circle.

NULL,NULL,10,10

Try something like you initial X-Y co-ordinates then a width of 120 pixels by about 15 pixels high. Check if the text displays correctly and make sure it does not clip off the bottom of characxters like gjpq etc ...

If you're creating controls directly with CreateWindow, you'll need to take dialog-units into account (they're not 1:1 with pixels, or even the same for x or y) -- things require different sizes depending on the selected font; so even when it looks perfect on yours, it could (will) get messed up on another system. This is largely why it's much better/easier to make a dialog template and allow windows to take care of the details.

Anyway, 10x10 should be the size of the 'radio button' (in dialog units) not including the text, 10x150 should allow you enough space for most text (but once again, that's in dialog units.)
