Hi I'm creating my game GUI only with pure Win32 API ( first time in my life :-) ) I wonder if there is an option to set the alignment automatically (top, bottom, left, client) of the control itself (not the text!).In other words is there any flag to set the property which is similar to Visual Studio "Dock" property or Borland's "Align"? My usage intention is - to create the static control all over the top of the window and use it as a panel. Thanks in advance

No, there really isn't a command like that in the Win32 api. But try this Catch22 - Win32 Tips, Tricks and Tutorials. He's got some tutorials on making docking like controls using Win32, they are about half way down the page.
