Programming question: What is the X clear search editbox button?
Hi void. Can you tell me what WinAPI and methods are used to create the X ''clear search'' button in the search editbox? Are you using subclassing? If it's simple, could you paste a code snippet?

It's my own button class, created with RegisterClassEx.
The class name is EVERYTHING_CLOSE_BUTTON.
The close button window is created as a child of the edit window.
The hardest part is adjust the edit margin so the text doesn't disappear underneath the close button.
I subclass the parent edit window so the close button can be positioned when the edit window is resized.
