preserve color

[ThachQuanVy]

I have an richedit control on my dialog,
wen I paste the copied formatted text in my clipboard on it, the text format is preserved,
But if I put it in a CString variable, and paste it on the control, the colors go away, even when I use streamin/out to do that.

CString class has no idea what the color is. It only works with TCHAR arrays.

HOW do you put content from clipboard into your CString?

CString class has no idea what the color is. It only works with TCHAR arrays.

But that array can contain rtf with color information in it.

Be certain that your CString has the correct RTF codes in it. See the following for the current RTF format codes: "Rich Text Format (RTF) Specification, version 1.9.1" at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...ng=en&id=10725

And when using streamin, be certain that you use the SF_RTF flag, and not the SF_TEXT flag.
