  BOOL Create( DWORD dwStyle, const RECT& rect, CWnd* pParentWnd,
               UINT nID );
 
  Parameter    Description
 
  <dwStyle>    Specifies the edit control's ◄style►.
 
  <rect>       Specifies the edit control's size and position.
 
  <pParentWnd> Specifies the edit control's parent window (usually a
               CDialog or CModalDialog). It must not be NULL.
 
  <nID>        Specifies the edit control's ID.
 
  Remarks
 
  You construct a CEdit object in two steps. First, call the CEdit
  constructor, then call Create, which creates the Windows edit control
  and attaches it to the CEdit object.
 
  When Create executes, Windows sends the ◄WM_NCCREATE►, ◄WM_NCCALCSIZE►,
  ◄WM_CREATE►, and ◄WM_GETMINMAXINFO► messages to the edit control.
 
  These messages are handled by default by the ◄OnNcCreate►,
  ◄OnNcCalcSize►, ◄OnCreate►, and ◄OnGetMinMaxInfo► member functions in
  the CWnd base class. To extend the default message handling, derive a
  class from CEdit, add a message map to the new class, and override the
  above message-handler member functions. Override OnCreate, for example,
  to perform needed initialization for the new class.
 
  To handle Windows notification messages sent from a CEdit object to its
  parent, add the following message-map entries to the parent class
  message map:
 
  ON_COMMAND
  ON_EN_SETFOCUS
  ON_EN_KILLFOCUS
  ON_EN_MAXTEXT
  ON_EN_CHANGE
  ON_EN_UPDATE
  ON_EN_HSCROLL
  ON_EN_VSCROLL
 
  Apply the following ◄window styles► to an edit control:
 
  Style        Application
 
  WS_CHILD     Always.
 
  WS_VISIBLE   Usually.
 
  WS_DIABLED   Rarely.
 
  WS_GROUP     To group controls.
 
  WS_TABSTOP   To include edit control in the tabbing order.
 
  Apply any combination of ◄edit styles► to the edit control.
 
  Return Value
 
  Create returns TRUE if initialization is successful; FALSE if
  unsuccessful.
