     HWND hwndChild
);

Parameters

Requirements

Header: afxcmn.h

Remarks

This method sends the PGM_SETCHILD message, which is described in the Windows SDK.

This method does not change the parent of the contained window; it only assigns a window handle to the pager control for scrolling. In most cases, the contained window will be a child window of the pager control.

Example

The following example creates a pager control, then uses the CPagerCtrl::SetChild method to associate a very long button control with the pager control. The example then uses the CPagerCtrl::SetButtonSize method to set the height of the pager control to 20 pixels, and the CPagerCtrl::SetBorder method to set the border thickness to 1 pixel.

    // Initialize the dropdown menu of the splitbutton control.
    m_splitButton.SetDropDownMenu(IDR_MENU1, 0);

    // Create the pager control.
    BOOL nRet;
    CRect rect;
    GetClientRect(&rect);
    nRet = m_pager.Create(
        (WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | PGS_HORZ),
        CRect(rect.Width()/4, 5, (rect.Width() * 3)/4, 55),
        this,
        IDC_PAGER1); 

    m_pager.GetClientRect( &rect );
    nRet = m_button.Create(
        _T("This is a very, very long button. 012345678901234567890"), 
        (WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD), // Do not use CCS_NORESIZE.
        CRect(0,0,rect.Width(),30), 
        &m_pager, IDC_BUTTON1);

    m_pager.SetChild(m_button.m_hWnd);
    m_pager.SetButtonSize( 20 );
    m_pager.SetBorder( 1 );
