Dialog Box
Author
Hi all,
Maybe someone can help me out with this. Its nothing major or anything just a bit of an annoyance. I have this Dialog Box that pops up in this Win32 program I''m writing. Now under most circumstances it pops up but for some reason if I put a RICHEDIT box on there it stops showing up when I run the program. The odd thing is if I put a static text label on it instead it is fine. So I sort of have two questions. I''m guessing I need to add code somewhere in my DlgProc, but what? Also, how would I specify what the text is in the EDIT box? (Its read-only).

Hmmm, well, I don''t have any experience using a rich edit control with the Win32 SDK, only MFC, so I can''t help you there. A rich edit control uses OLE however, so you may need to initialize your OLE libraries before starting the dialog box. (Only a guess).
As far as setting the test for your edit control, just use SetWindowText().

All controls are in the comctl32.dll EXCEPT for the rich-edit control, so that may be your problem. Rich-eedit boxes are just too big and advanced to put them besides the other controls, so......someone decided to put it in it''s own library, called Riched32.dll.
Just call
LoadLibrary("riched32.dll");
and everything should be fine
oh, the OLE-stuff for the rich-edit stuff can be found in richedit.h and richole.h
that should do it....
Dance with me......
