  1. PORich Edit Control changes the DialogBox return value behavior?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm a bit puzzled: i created a dialogbox with <code>Edit Control</code>, then i noticed the text isn't word wrapped, so i googled and found out that i should use <code>Rich Edit Control</code> instead. So i did. Now, when ever there is a <code>Rich Edit Control</code> in my dialog box, the functionality changes: without <code>Rich Edit Control</code> the dialogbox returned either <code>IDOK</code> or <code>IDCANCEL</code>, which i handle outside of the message handler code. BUT, if there is a <code>Rich Edit Control</code> anywhere in the dialogbox, it always returns something else than <code>IDOK</code>, before i even click any buttons in the dialog box: the dialogbox seems to not even be created at all.</p> <p>Here is the message handler:</p> <pre><code>INT_PTR CALLBACK MyDialogBox(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){ switch(message){ case WM_INITDIALOG: { SetDlgItemText(hDlg, IDC_EDIT1, (LPCTSTR)some_string.c_str()); return (INT_PTR)TRUE; } case WM_COMMAND: switch(LOWORD(wParam)){ case IDOK: case IDCANCEL: { EndDialog(hDlg, LOWORD(wParam)); return (INT_PTR)TRUE; } } break; } return (INT_PTR)FALSE; } </code></pre> <p>And here is the code where i use the dialogbox:</p> <pre><code>if(DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), hWnd, MyDialogBox) == IDOK){ // without rich edit control it goes here or below depending on the user choice. }else{ // with rich edit it always goes here. } </code></pre> <p>So, the ultimate question here is: how do i get this thing work like it works with normal <code>Edit Control</code> ?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> when it fails, the values are: -1 for DialogBox(), and 0 for GetLastError(), if that helps ?</p> <p><strong>Edit2:</strong> Problem solved by antinome's <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/c325a6ab-5e58-4970-a123-cda46fb096ff/" rel="nofollow">link</a>: include <code>afxwin.h</code> and call <code>AfxInitRichEdit2()</code> at the window <code>WM_CREATE</code> message.</p>
