I am trying to do this and I get some weird results. I create a STATIC control with CreateWindowEx but the text of the STATIC control is some rare characters.
When I do this
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
// define UNICODE and _UNICODE
#define LABEL_TEXT "This is my text"
HWND control = CreateWindowEx(
WS_EX_TRANSPARENT,
L"STATIC",
(WCHAR*)LABEL_TEXT,
WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|ES_LEFT,
0,
0,
100,
20,
Hwnd,
NULL,
Instance,
NULL
);
The STATIC control displays characters which I think mean undefined characters (rare rectangles).
If I do this
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
HWND control = CreateWindowEx(
WS_EX_TRANSPARENT,
L"STATIC",
L"This is my text",
WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|ES_LEFT,
0,
0,
100,
20,
Hwnd,
NULL,
Instance,
NULL
);
I get the text correctly.
I don't understand what is wrong with the first case.
