The simplest answer to this is of course to derive your view from 
CFormView, then (if you used AppWizard to generate your code) change 
around the MYAPP_FORM dialog template to add your CEdit control.  Of 
course, if you really do need the CEdit control as a child of CView then 
you'll have to do a bit more hunting for this info.

You're doing the right thing - you shouldn't have to do anything other
than call Create ().

Double-check a few things:

0.  Is Create () returning TRUE?

1.  Are you including WS_VISIBLE in your Create () call?

2.  Make sure pParentWnd in the Create () call points to the right
window.

3.  Make sure the size rect is reasonable, and that the location of
the control is inside the visible window.

4.  Use Spy to see your window tree, which will include the new
control.  If it's going somewhere weird, this should help you find it.
