Re: EDIT woes

Weird. Thanks for posting back to the thread. No doubt this will come up
again at some point. I don't suppose that you're trying to show the edit
control in an ordinary window but trying to treat it as a dialog control
could be part of the problem, could it?

I'm not sure about 1.

In the meantime I found out, that the missing caret is related, somehow,
to the dynamic creation of the edit control. Once I let it create by the
dialog, the caret is visible.


2) You have Auto H-Scroll style set for the control. Turn that off and
characters won't be allowed out of the viewport.

I also found an workaround, based on EM_SETRECT, which is documented to
limit the text display area *independently* from the control's client
area. It also was necessary to set the control style to multi line, to
make an change of the text rectangle effective.
