Word Wrap

[osal]

Im working on this windows gui program and its a client/server program and Ive greated a readonly edit box that just displays data from the server, but when I used the function

SendMessage(hEdit,EM_REPLACESEL,0,line);

the word wrap doesnt work, instead it goes on forever, and then finally goes to the next line only if the line is long enough, which it has to be very very long. I tried WM_SETTEXT but that would only put the last thing in the array line, so I was wondering if anyone knew something that would would make replacesel to go ot a new line nicely.

instead add

ES_MULTILINE | ES_READONLY

to the createwindow for the edit control

I already had it as readonly and mutliline.

This may help you, if you're trying to do what I think you are.

void AppendWindowText(HWND hWnd, const char * lpString)
{
  int iLength = GetWindowTextLength(hWnd);
  SendMessage(hWnd, EM_SETSEL, iLength, iLength);
  SendMessage(hWnd, EM_REPLACESEL, 0, (LPARAM) lpString);
  SendMessage(hWnd, WM_VSCROLL, SB_BOTTOM, (LPARAM)NULL);
}

hWnd being the handle to your edit control and lpString being the text you want to send there

I use that code in a chat client I'm working on, just call that function when you need to add text to the edit control
