1.How can i change default color of the selection in richedit control ?
2.How to use SetWindowLong to change the "dwStyle" member of richedit.

Code Select Expand

invoke SetWindowLong,hEdit,GWL_STYLE,0x50310004
: error A2206: missing operator in expression
: error A2114: INVOKE argument type mismatch : argument : 3

What am i doing wrong ?or is there some other way ?
what i am trying to do is implement word wrap functionality in to it.something like notepad has.

MASM doesn't accept C style hex constants.

Change that constant to 50310004h.

G`HOST,
As for WordWrap, if you are taliking about the RichEdit example that comes with the project, the attached file is that project and it has been modified to include WordWrap.  It was easier to do that then emplain it all.  Look for the WordWrap procedure and you will see how it is done.

Why not use scintilla instead of richedit, I can help using this control in asm.

[PBrennick]

What is Scintilla?

EDIT:  Did you notice that it is written in VC?  97 source files?  No thanks, but thanks for asking.  We do assembly here.

Scintilla is the most powerfull edit control in the universe (OK maybe world)

EDIT:  Did you notice that it is written in VC?  97 source files?  No thanks, but thanks for asking.  We do assembly here.

Paul don't be mossback... To get a dll you'll need to compile it with say MinGW or grab it from Scite. You need only LoadLibrary and class name in CreateWindowEx to make it work (the same thing with richedit). Size of control can vary (200-580Kb and more), depends on number of lexers (hilighting schemes). To communicate with scintilla you SendMessage (or something esle). I wonder why there is no Asm IDE based on it. Btw there is a posibility to confront with C++ when you're writting your lexer (say want folding feature in asm scheme).

Your Help Would be much appreciated.Thanx.

Hi G'HOST,
I've coded a little example using Scintilla, this example demonstrates how to change selection colors as you were asking... If you want more: syntax hilighting, folding, autocompletion etc. ask... (the dll in atachment contains all lexers(C++\Java\Asm.....) so "weighs" respectively)

ramguru,
I have to admit that I am pretty impressed by your example.  I played with pasting code into it, etc.  Is there some sort of documentation for the functions served by the DLL?

Paul

I have to admit that I am pretty impressed by your example.

I'm glad you are. The documentation of course exist, it's here http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/ScintillaDoc.html . You've to use SciSend instead of SendMessage as in the example (it's much faster). I have some experience with it, so if there are any questions...

[PBrennick]

It says in the documentation that it is not meant to be used as a wordprocessor.  That is too bad as that is what we are doing.

Paul

[ramguru]

Well I think word processor means MS Word or alike where we use different fonts even in the same line. But the control is perfect Richedit replacement, perfect for some IDE etc.

[PBrennick]

Do you have an example of it being used as an editor?
