How to dynamic create a Rich Edit control on the Client Area ?

[Wallace@Kuo]

Dear All,

I encounted a problem with using Rich Edit control.

After I dynamic create the control on the Client Area, I can't use SetWindowText(..) to change the text. Can anyone show me the sample ?

Wallace@Kuo,

SetWindowText() does not work for richedit control. You may want to take at look at the work of PlanetCPP-Chris(Hound)/Micheal(xix)

I have downloaded the CPP project from that site and it is working perfectly.

Thanks for jbp2004 reply. I'll try to download the sample for studing.

Another question, I have the sample code for changing the font of Rich Edit control, and its written by MFC as below:

CFont font;
font.CreateStockObject(ANSI_FIXED_FONT);
m_wndEditCtrl.SetFont(&font);
....

How do I implement the code with API ? In API, the CreateStockObject() and SetFont() are delivered from which function call ?

   HFONT hFont = (HFONT)GetStockObject(ANSI_FIXED_FONT);
   SendMessage(hWndRich, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hFont, TRUE);

[Wallace@Kuo]

   HFONT hFont = (HFONT)GetStockObject(ANSI_FIXED_FONT);
   SendMessage(hWndRich, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hFont, TRUE);

thanks for Ovidiucucu reply.

I use the way listed below to change the font style; I think they are the same.

hf = CreateFont(
16, 0, 0, 0,
FW_NORMAL, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE,
ANSI_CHARSET, OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, DEFAULT_QUALITY, DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_SWISS,
"Courier New");
