  2. Remove the "TODO:" static control (IDC_STATIC).

  3. Select the custom control from the Toolbox: .

  4. Draw a custom control on the dialog template.

  6. Change the ID to IDC_GRID.

  7. Specify GXWND in the Class: field. Please note that this specifies the WNDCLASS registered by Objective Grid during initialization and not the name of your C++ CGXGridWnd derived class. Do not specify the C++ class name of your grid here, you must specify GXWND and GXWND must be all caps.

  8. Change the Style: field to 0x50b10000. This indicates that both scroll bars and a border should be drawn. To specify border only (no scroll bars) use 0x50810000.

  9. Close the Custom Control Properties dialog.

  10. Close the IDD_DLGGRID_DIALOG template.

  11. Save DlgGrid.rc (press CTRL+S).
