Murray Sargent: Some RichEdit History

"RichEdit 1.0 was created by the Microsoft Exchange group, notably by
David Fulmer with help by Anthony Francisco and others. In addition to
being used by Exchange's mail program, RichEdit 1.0 was wrapped in MFC
to produce WordPad as an example of how MFC could be used for text
processing. This was shipped with Windows 95 as mentioned in the previous
post."

RC: How do I load an entire file into a rich text control?

"To load an entire file into a rich text control, you can use the EM_STREAMIN
message, which accepts an IStream of data all at once. Once you find the
message, it's pretty straightforward how to use it, but I'll write out the code
anyway."

Day after: How do I put more than 32,000 characters into a rich text control?

"If you don't specify otherwise, the maximum number of characters in
a rich edit control is 32,767 charaters. You can raise the limit with the
EM_EXLIMITTEXT message."

cboard - (Multiline) Edit Control Limit

"Essentially, you're just using an edit control to "view" one page of an
extremely large document at a time."

RC - The format rectangle is recalculated whenever the window re-
sizes, and that's a good thing

"You create a multi-line edit control. Like many programs, you might create
it at a temporary size while you try to figure out what its real size should be.
You might even resize the control dynamically as the container is resized.

What you definitely don't want is the format rectangle of the edit control to
be locked to the size the window was originally created at."
