I am working with a MDI window, where my child window (viwe) is derived from CFromView. With my windows setting the size of form template is (x = 336, y = 218) (as seen from resource view). But when i am loading the child window it gets some default size, which i am not able trace out. My question is how to stop this defaulting setting and assign the actual size (which is the size the from template) ? Please help me to get the solution.

Resize it in OnInitialUpdate function
code snippet added:

CFormView::OnInitialUpdate();
GetParentFrame()->MoveWindow(100,100,200,200);
ResizeParentToFit();

Set edit box style from resource editor as "Want return"
or pEdit->ModifyStyle(0,ES_WANTRETURN);

I think this will not work..

try this....
simply overide the OnOK() and do not call CDialog::OnOK()

OnOK(){}

Else give Multiline property to edit box

Dream bigger... Do bigger...Expect smaller

set the Want Return style for the edit control.

if u dont want to ur application when the enter key is pressed,

simply overide the OnOK() funtion in the dialog class. Inside that funtion do not call CDialog::OnOK()..

Don't be so lazy - look it up yourself.

Here is a hint....

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=shellexecute&btnG=Search

or try MSDN - that is what it is for.

Actually, it all depends on the verb. The "open" verb is one of many that are used by ShellExecute().
