CEditView or CRichEditView Class

Hello All.

I need some advice about using one or the other of the above mentioned classes. What I need is to display messages inside of a CEditView object of the users session with a FTPClient application that I am writing. So essentially I want to keep track of the users interaction with the program.

However what I needed to know is it possible to use the CEditView or CRichEditView class to make the window background all white and not shaded which right now its a taint of grey/beige (using CEditview) in my case.

So which of these two classes will accomplish with what I am asking or is it one of the two will do the trick.

Thanks in advance.

EditView should be wite unless you set it to read only I believe.

Thanks for the reply. I have decided to go with CEditView but was wondering if anyone knows how to disable the confirmation of Saving the changed/modified document once I have added items to the View ? Another words when I close out the application I get a "Save changes to Untitled ?" I imagine that it has something to adding text lines to the CEditView. I have also chosen for the document to be ReadOnly.

Any suggestions would be kindly appreciated.

I did find a solution via google.com from someone else who was having the exact same issue. However it still does not work for me. In that I get prompted to save the document.

Here is the code I found here and the results of the implementation

Code:

---

void CMainFrame::OnClose()
{
    CEdit * editCtrl = (CEdit*)CWnd::FromHandle(m_hndLogView);
    if(editCtrl->GetModify())                                // returns TRUE
        editCtrl->SetModify(FALSE);

    BOOL val = editCtrl->GetModify();                // returns FALSE
    CFrameWnd::OnClose();}

---

I thought I would post the solution that does work. I was able to find the solution on another developer forum. Here is the working solution.

Code:

---

void CMainFrame::OnClose()
{
        // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
        if(GetActiveFrame())
        {
                CView* pView = GetActiveFrame()->GetActiveView();
                if(pView)
                {
                        CDocument* pDoc = pView->GetDocument();
                        if(pDoc)
                                pDoc->SetModifiedFlag(FALSE);
                }
        }
        CMDIFrameWnd::OnClose();
