hi there.
i wanted to program a nfo viewer in assembly.
the situaton is:
I use a MULTILINE EDIT CONTROL
and CreateFontIndirectA.
I set the font up with OEM_CHARSET and
FIXED kerning.
The problem:
If I selct text in the edit box, then it gets
crumbled, deleted, moved, etc.,
until it gets repainted.
If I use ANSI_CHARSET instead, then all worx
fine.
But I wanna make a NFO viewer.
I also dislike to use Richedit, cuz I only want
to view a file (no need for editig),
and I think a MULTILINE EDIT CONTOL must work
as well.
Furthermore, I use a DialogBox and I'm not
sure, but I thought that Richedit requires
a window.
can somebody please help me out, I'm totally
stuck with this.
I also didn't find anything on the net.
so thanx in advance.
Code! Post code.
And then someone might help you fix it :wink

I can also post the 4kb executable to someone's email,
if he wants to see for himself..
thanx.
have to correct this..

Hi,
I tried to simulate your problem: use multiline edit control, use OEM_CHARSET, set text and background color using WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC etc. I am sorry I see no problem...

Someone helped me out...
The problem was that I created the font in WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC.
I was told to create the font in WM_INITDIALOG.
And it worked !
(is it better to reply to posts if it's solved or rather not ??)
