Dialog Based MFC Dialog Based App and RichEdit ctl will not run???

[bansl]

Hi,

I just created what was supposed to be a simple MFC Dialog based app, i.e. checked "Dialog based" in the wizard and left ActiveX checked.

I setup my controls in the dialog and it worked OK.
However, now that I have added a RichEdit Control into the Dialog, it will not initialize, The dialog does not display and I just get a return code 0. No error message, no anything.

Compiler is VC 6 with the latest SP applied.

Hellpp!!??

You have to call AfxInitRichEdit in your InitInstance function before
creating the dialog.

Hi Alex,

I have another problem which you may be able to help me with....

As I said, this RichEdit Control is in a dialog, (in an RC file).

So how can I get its control so that I can do things like; SetSel() ReplaceSel() etc.

I know I can use GetDlgItem() but that gets me a CWnd, can I use that to get the ctrl, change text color by line, etc., etc.

This stuff doesn't seem to be covered anywhere.

I usually use RichEditView, so this Dialog box format seems to be a real problem.

Cheers,

Bryan.

Bind RichEdit window to a CRichEditCtrl member variable using Class
Wizard like any other control.
