The CNTL Editor.

The CNTL Editor allows you to edit all of the fields of a new or used CNTL resource.  Most fields are as self explanatory as they’re gonna get, but a few things should be explained…

•  Text entered in the “Title” box becomes the control’s title, not the CNTL resource’s name.

•  When used in a dialog box, the position of the control’s enclosing rectangle is largely irrelevant – the Dialog Manager uses the coordinates of its item in the item list instead.  However, if your dialog is initially visible, the Dialog Manager will mistakenly draw the control in its native position once before drawing it in the position dictated by the item list.  Either make your dialogs hidden initially and show them with a call to ShowWindow(), or click the “Hidden” button in the CNTL Editor to force the control to initially plot beyond the boundaries of your dialog window.
