Hi,

You have just to insert the following line, before creating the CRichEditCtrl object:

AfxInitRichEdit( );

Actually when we insert rich edit control at design time(not run time), we don't get the creation line in our source code. so where to call that function AfxInitRichEdit() ?

[nunomas]

You can call AfxInitRichEdit() in the constructor of the dialog where you are using the CRichEditCtrl.

Hi,

A better recommended approach is to call AfxInitRichEdit()in your
CWinApp::InitInstance(). This is a Global function that will initialize
the richedit control by loading the necessay system DLL'S

Good Luck
