Hi Serge provided your sending the exact message ID's and parameters correctly it should function. If you're sending EM_ messages note that not all of these function with richedit controls - usually there is an equivelent message id however for a richedit. You should take a look at the win32.hlp file and also at CodeScript's TrayHelper Utility - download here, his utility will allow you to take api contants and get the message id's for them. Using the win32.hlp will then let you get the exact format that wparam and lparam require.

hi prakash,

thanks for your reply...i gathered after my post that the code in question might not work because it is for an edit box and not a richedit box

as for your suggestion, i'm afraid that it is way over my head...will do without that feature...it would have been nice but certainly not an essential feature

thanks for your help

hi prakash,

sorry to bother you...i can't get the richedit background and foreground colors to work properly eg. black background and yellow text shows black text on black background...i tried various colour combinations and found that some work (eg. yellow text on red background) while a number of others don't...they just show the text as black even though i have opted for a non-black text colour

any ideas?!?

i am using the latest version of obj.dll

thanks for your time

Hi Serge
May be that some colors are not supported by the richedit control.
U can try using standard richedit colors (U can get them fom the windows wordpad color options - U can use printscreen paste the image of the wordpad with the drop down color dialog and pick the pixel color of each in colorref values using the utility I maentioed in the above post. (I think VDSOBJ colorcombo example has this already done I think.
Beyond that Prakash may be able to help U more.

thanks codescript...i am using standard colours...the ones listed as working with richedit...hence the confusion!...i deliberatly avoided using non-standard colours but some such standard colours don't work eg. BLACK for the background and YELLOW for the foreground
