CEditView, how to display text on open

[EmbeddedC]

I am creating an MDI app. Basically, the app will open binary files, and display the information contained in those files as text. The child windows are CEditView windows.

I want the text to appear in the child windows as I open each file. I have the following code, but I don't know which function to put it in so that text gets displayed automatically after opening a file. Currently, I get the text to display using a mouse button handler.

CString str;
	
// set the string here

theCtrl.SetReadOnly();
theCtrl.ReplaceSel(str);

I have the following code, but I don't know which function to put it in so that text gets displayed automatically after opening a file.

If I follow the question...

The event that triggers setting the text is opening the file.
The end result is the text appearing in front of the user.

After you have loaded the file,
converted to text,
etc,
set the text in the editview
and bring the window into view.

After thinking about this I think you might want

WM_INITDIALOG (for dialogs) or WM_CREATE (for windows)

At this message the window/dialog should be created ready to set the text but not visible.
