RichEdit toggle wrap/unwrap - how?

when the RichEdit is created with style $WS_HSCROLL, the text is not wrapped and there is an horizontal scrollbar.

the opposite is also true: when the RichEdit is created without style $WS_HSCROLL, the text is wrapped, and there is no horizontal scrollbar.

so far so good. now i want to toggle wrap/unwrap. i tried doing it by changing the style of the RichEdit with this:

_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hRichEdit, $GWL_STYLE, BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $ES_READONLY, $WS_VSCROLL))

(the style used by _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create is the same, but with $WS_HSCROLL).

this does not work - or perhaps it does work, but i don;t see it, because it makes the entire RichEdit disappear. where am i going wrong?

this is the full demo script:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7
#NoTrayIcon

#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>

Global $nGUI_W = 720, $nGUI_H = 500, $nRichEditOffset = 10, $nRichEditOffsetTop = 30
Global $nToolbarHeight = $nRichEditOffsetTop
Global $hGui = GUICreate('RichEdit wrap/unwrap test', $nGUI_W, $nGUI_H, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_SYSMENU))
GUISetBkColor(0xCCDDEE)
; - toolbar ; ** requires an extra lower contour if main rich edit is not docked to edges
Global $gToolbarBackground = GUICtrlCreateLabel('', 0, 0, $nGUI_W, $nToolbarHeight)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, BitOR($GUI_DOCKTOP, $GUI_DOCKLEFT, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT, $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT))
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)

thanks for any hints.

EDIT: there is the possibility of destroying and re-creating the RichEdit: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

i'll try it unless i can find something less brutal.

orbs,

Like you, the only way I can get this to work is by destroying and recreating the RichEdit: :wacko:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>

Global $bWrap = False

$sText = "A very very long line that needs to wrap in the RuchEdit and so is useful in the context of this example"
For $i = 1 To 3
    $sText &= @CRLF & $sText
Next

; build GUI
Global Const $nGUI_MaxW = 500, $nGUI_MaxH = 100
Global $nGUI_W = 720, $nGUI_H = 500, $nRichEditOffset = 10, $nRichEditOffsetTop = 30

Global $hGui = GUICreate('RichEdit wrap/unwrap test', $nGUI_W, $nGUI_H)
GUISetBkColor(0xCCDDEE)

; -- wrap/unwrap
Global $cWrap = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox('Wrap', 3, 3, 48, 24, $BS_PUSHLIKE)

; - main
Global $hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hGui, $sText, $nRichEditOffset, $nRichEditOffset + $nRichEditOffsetTop, $nGUI_W - $nRichEditOffset * 2, $nGUI_H - $nRichEditOffset * 2 - $nRichEditOffsetTop - 24, BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $ES_READONLY, $WS_HSCROLL, $WS_VSCROLL))
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel($hRichEdit, 0, -1, True)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFont($hRichEdit, Default, 'Courier New')

GUISetState()

    Switch GUIGetMsg()

I know this is an old post but I figured it out after @orbs requested I look at this from another topic. Initially I couldn't figure it out either. I thought the $WS_HSCROLL was word wrap, and it very well may be for a regular edit control, but for richedit there is an actual word wrap option. using EM_SETTARGETDEVICE you can enable/disable word wrap 

#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

; build GUI
Global Const $nGUI_MaxW = 500, $nGUI_MaxH = 100
Global $nGUI_W = 720, $nGUI_H = 500, $nRichEditOffset = 10, $nRichEditOffsetTop = 30
Global $nToolbarHeight = $nRichEditOffsetTop
Global $hGui = GUICreate('RichEdit wrap/unwrap test', $nGUI_W, $nGUI_H, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_SYSMENU))
GUISetBkColor(0xCCDDEE)
; - toolbar ; ** requires an extra lower contour if main rich edit is not docked to edges
Global $gToolbarBackground = GUICtrlCreateLabel('', 0, 0, $nGUI_W, $nToolbarHeight)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, BitOR($GUI_DOCKTOP, $GUI_DOCKLEFT, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT, $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT))
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
Global $gToolbarBackgroundContour = GUICtrlCreateLabel('', 0, $nToolbarHeight+1, $nGUI_W, 1)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, BitOR($GUI_DOCKTOP, $GUI_DOCKLEFT, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT, $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT))
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
; -- wrap/unwrap
Global $bWrap = False
Global $gWrap = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox('Wrap', 3, 3, 48, 24, $BS_PUSHLIKE)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, BitOR($GUI_DOCKTOP, $GUI_DOCKLEFT, $GUI_DOCKSIZE))
; - main
Global $hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hGui, 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz', $nRichEditOffset, $nRichEditOffset + $nRichEditOffsetTop, $nGUI_W - $nRichEditOffset * 2, $nGUI_H - $nRichEditOffset * 2 - $nRichEditOffsetTop - 24, BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $WS_HSCROLL, $WS_VSCROLL))
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel($hRichEdit, 0, -1, True)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFont($hRichEdit, Default, 'Courier New')
GUISetState()
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_GETMINMAXINFO, "_WM_GETMINMAXINFO")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SIZE, "_WM_SIZE")
; work with GUI
Global $iMsg = 0
While True
    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            _GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($hRichEdit)
            Exit
        Case $gWrap
            $bWrap = Not $bWrap
            ConsoleWrite(_GUICtrlRichEdit_WordWrap($hRichEdit, $bWrap) & @LF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _GUICtrlRichEdit_WordWrap($hWnd, $bEnable = True)
    If (IsHWnd($hWnd) = False) Then Return SetError(1, 0, False)

    DllCall("user32.dll", "lresult", "SendMessageW", "hwnd", $hWnd, "uint", $EM_SETTARGETDEVICE, "wparam", 0, "lparam", Not $bEnable)

    If (@Error) Then Return SetError(2, @extended, False)

    Return True
EndFunc

This topic gave me the answer.

@InunoTaishou, thank you so much for this.

have you any idea how to get the wrap status of a RichEdit control? i recon if the UDF _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetWrap() is to be created, it would probably need to be accompanied by _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetWrap(). not that i mind so much, since i control the wrap status; but just in case...

i looked at _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetParaAttributes() and _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetParaAlignment() but they don't provide it.

I can give it a go when I got some free time. Just some quick googling you're not going to find what you want with any of the autoit richedit functions

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa313357(v=vs.60).aspx

SetTargetDevice works with the dc of the richedit controls, setting the line width of the WYSIWYG formatting. So, we'll have to figure out how to get the current WYSIWYG options and check the line width.
