RichEdit Control

[iLoveAU3]

both your code as your comments are really impressive to me ("c-like compatibility")

REALLY NICE.

I want an example of how to give words a color with this udf, not the COM object.

Sorry KIP posted this to the wrong thread ?!

Removed my post.

For you question it is better to look for it in here :

AutoITPad

Good luck !!

Thanks!

I got another problem: _GUICtrlRichEditGetText() doesn't work properly. (That's what I think )

$iLen = RichText_GetLenght($hRichText)

$sText = _GUICtrlRichEditGetText($hRichText, 0, $iLen)

Func RichText_GetLenght($hWnd)
    
    $TStr = DllStructCreate("int Flags; int charset")
    DllStructSetData($TStr,1,0x00000000)
    DllStructSetData($TStr,2,1200)

    Return _SendMessage($hRichText, $EM_GETTEXTLENGTHEX, DllStructGetPtr($TStr), 0)
    
EndFunc

GetLenght() returns 12, (thats how long the string is), but GetText only returns the first character :s

Well, can you post a full example ?

Works fine for me if I add a button called $Btn2 in the example in post #1 and have

Case $msg = $btn2
                $iLen = RichText_GetLenght($h_RichEdit)
                ConsoleWrite("Length of text = " & $iLen & @CRLF)
                $sText = _GUICtrlRichEditGetText ($h_RichEdit, 0, $iLen)
                ConsoleWrite($sText & @CRLF)

Not connected with your problem but I think your function should be

Func RichText_GetLenght($hWnd)
    
    $TStr = DllStructCreate("int Flags; int charset")
    DllStructSetData($TStr,1,0x00000000)
    DllStructSetData($TStr,2,1200)

    Return _SendMessage($hWnd, $EM_GETTEXTLENGTHEX, DllStructGetPtr($TStr), 0);<--- use the handle passed as parameter
    
EndFunc

[Kip]

Return _SendMessage($hWnd, $EM_GETTEXTLENGTHEX, DllStructGetPtr($TStr), 0);<--- use the handle passed as parameter

Ofcourse, stupid mistake

I know what the problem is. I used MSFTEDIT.DLL (RichText 4.1) instead of RichEd20.dll (RichText 2.0/3.0).

Kinda weird that the new version doesn't work where the older version does work. Because Microsoft says that they are a superset of each other.

Well, this one works possibly with UNicode, so you have to use wchar in GetText
