Thanks for that great piece of software! For my special purpose I need word wrap (as others did). Here is a quick & dirty solution:

In cGUI.ahk immediately after

If (ErrorLevel != 0 OR _ctrlID = 0)
Return "ERROR: Error creating control" . ErrorLevel . "/" . A_LastError

add

DllCall("SendMessage", "UInt", _ctrlID, "UInt", 0x448, "UInt", "0", "UInt", "0") ; EM_SETTARGETDEVICE

This works for me, but corrupt will know better, how to do it the clean way.

Nice control!

How do I make the scroll bars disappear? I can't even make them disappear when there's nothing to scroll. I want them to disappear completely, even if there's something to scroll. (And I don't want multi-line...)

Thanks for the code suggestion casano Very Happy

. I'll have a look.

ezuk, the scrollbars are part of the default style used to create the control. Same with multi-line. I'll look into adding a function to change a few style options to make things a bit more user friendly Smile

. Thanks

how can i make it read only ? and also is there a function that will jump to the end of doc (+new line) ? so i can just append stuff at the end ( imagine something like IRC log or whatever... )

maybe add function addline() to append text to the end of doc.

btw thanx for this Razz

EDIT: Ok i know how to make it readonly, just add 0x800 style and its ok Razz

so now i need jump to the end function Razz

hello,
nice object, but to add the richedit to another gui window does not work.

veio · Guest

maybe i found the error:
in cGUI.ahk at "if(_Action0="3")" it must be "else if" i guess.

Whe doesn't this work?

I'm pretty sure you need to specify the HWND of the TAB. I'll see if I can put an example together... Smile

Updated to version 0.08 beta Smile

- fixed a bug in cGUI that prevented specifying a HWND for the control's parent
- added an example script for adding the control to an AutoHotkey Tab control to the download (link on the first page).

Here's one method for adding the RichEdit control to a Tab (version 0.08 or higher required):

corrupt (or someone else Smile

),

Can you please take a peek at my most recent request for assistance? I haven't gotten a response to it therein. Lexikos (via IRC) pointed me towards another thread, which has potential for being a means of resolution. While reading that, I came across this thread, which seems to be equally as exciting.

I attempted to and have successfully integrated the use of cRichEdit into my IDE project. It was actually pretty easy, once I got over the initial fear of breaking everything with changing one of the most important controls in my project.

Anyways, if you could offer input on how you might go about trying to address my needs, via the use of your tools, it would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Take care.

Hi TodWulff Smile

. There are likely a few methods that you could use to scroll to the bottom of the control. One method might be to use GetTextLength to get the number of characters in the control then use EXSETSEL to set the current selection to the number of characters in the control (start and end position both set to the number of characters in the control). You can test this method by using the commands in the Feature_Demo script that is included in the download.

Another method might be to send a <ctrl> + <end> keystroke to the control... There are a few other methods also... Since the control that gets added using the code here is a standard Windows RichEdit control (not modified - this code is just a wrapper), you will likely find that many of the other methods/functions that you find for use with Edit/RichEdit controls will likely work with this instance of the RichEdit control also.

Thanks corrupt.

Maybe I confused the issue a bit. Yeah, the movement to the bottom of the control is not an issue.

What I am wondering how to accomplish is how do I keep the text in the displayed portion of the control static, while appending to the end of the text in the control...

Is this something that you think is do-able?

Here's a subroutine that might not be exactly what you're looking for if you are adding to the control constantly at the end and trying to scroll and read through the results at the same time...

Updated to version 0.9

- added WordWrap option - Thanks casano

Thanks corrupt - looks to be working with some minor tweaks.!.

I see in another post above where another user was able to set the control to read only with a style of 0x800. I've been struggling to implement this as I don't want the user to have the ability to alter the contents of the console window. Can you provide an example of the use of the 0x800 style in the cRichEdit Constructs?

Take care. Thanks again!

BTW, does the WordWrap'g you just added, negate the need for, and subsequently suppress, the horizontal scroll bar, when enabled? If not, you might want to consider it...
