RichEdit Not Working!

[SyntaxBubble]

Ok. I was working with RICHEDIT_CLASS when I found a problem. I do InitCommonControls(); but when I try to do something like:


CreateWindowEx(
0,
RICHEDIT_CLASS,
"",
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
10, 10,
400, 150,
hwnd,
(HMENU)1,
hInst,
NULL
);


It says RICHEDIT_CLASS undeclared...first use this function. How do I use RICHEDIT_CLASS?

[WayTooHigh]

include richedit.h

#include <richedit.h>

and don't forget to put:

LoadLibrary("RichEd32.dll");

in your code, or else it won't work.

I tried both and got these:

          hwndEdit = CreateWindow ("richedit", NULL,
                         WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL |
                                   WS_BORDER | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE |
                                   ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL,
                         0, 0, 90, 90, hwnd, (HMENU) ID_VIEW,
						 hInst, NULL);

I always find using the #defines are more annoying than just typing in the string yourself

And I don't know wether you need LoadLibrary in DJGPP, but you do in MSVC. and now you don't need to include the extra header file.
