Hi,

My applications contains a lot of source codes now so is there an easy way to directly edit some of the functions in CView class so that it derives from CRichEdit?

also, i tried to create a new application, deriving it from CRichEditView and i could open any file, except that no contents are displayed, only a blank document. Please help

Hi.

You can get sample code of Wordpad.
Use MSDN help to get this.
Use Search and type Wordpad.

Hope for help.

Hi,

thank you but I have already gone through the code. and everything is so complex because there are more than 10 classes that i do not know where to start. how do we normally display the contents of a file when the user clicks File-Open?
