Add buttons & sliders automatically

[Jaredino]

Hi,
I have created a new SDI project which is a formview and have added a number of buttons and sliders in a group box. Does anyone know how I can add a copy of this layout to the form when the user clicks the appropraite button on the toolbar?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I would suggest you progamatically create these controls using their create function.

You can place these created controls where you like on your form.

CButton* pButton;
CRect rectPlacement;

pButton->Create(strCaption, BS_FLAT, rectPlacement, this, IDC_YOURID);

Hope this helps.

oh forgot to say, remember to show the new control using

pButton->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Thanks. So do I place all the code in the toolbar buttons onClick() function? (I am guessing not since it causes the program to crash) Sorry I am new to this

I would place the code to add controls to your form inside the View class.

Yeah thanks I've got it working
