    Question RichEdit Help Please??(PLEASE READ!)

    Well, I want to use a rich edit control. I have the RichEdit window like this:

    #include <richedit.h>

    /* .................. */
    /* Some Code */
    /* .................. */

    case WM_CREATE:

    HINSTANCE hDLL;
    hDLL = LoadLibrary("riched32.dll");

    riched = CreateWindowEx(
    WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
    "RichEdit", "Test",
    WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
    0, 0, 200, 200,
    hwnd,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL
    );

    My question is, how do I set certain chars to red, certain chars to green, and etc.? I know it's the EM_SETCHARFORMAT, I think, but I don't know how to use it. Answers or even links should help!

    Thanks,
    Matt U.

    (BTW, I am using the MinGW compiler, and the Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE)

    Nevermind, I got it!

    CHARFORMAT cf;

    cf.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT);
    cf.dwMask = CFM_FACE | CFM_COLOR;
    cf.crTextColor = RGB(255, 0, 0);

    SendMessage(riched, EM_SETCHARFORMAT, (WPARAM) SCF_ALL, (LPARAM) (CHARFORMAT FAR *) &cf);
