Rich edit control example Win API

Echidna · 09-16-2001, 10:53 PM

Can anyone direct me to a working example of a rich edit control using Windows API (I had no trouble getting an edit control to work properly). I have found several working rich edit control examples using MFC, which I know even less about, but none using API.

I am very new to Window programming and feel more comfortable working with API.

Any information offered will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

As far as I know, a richedit can only be used with MFC.

What you can do is create a regular DLL with MFC statically linked.

You can create the richedit in this DLL and export some functions to your exe to handle the richedit control.

I've done creating a COM object, but it should work perfectly using an ordinary DLL that supports MFC (this does not mean you should work according the MFC technology).

Greetings, Ward
