- ===========================================================================
-
- We are looking for a replacement for the standard SDK edit control (we use
- mc c7.00). The reasons are:
-
- * to edti files >64k (primary issue)
- * to add messages that allow color/font/..etc
- changes on a line/word basis.
- * to add notifications when the use has clicked the
- right mouse button... allowing retrieval of the token
- the mouse icon is over.
-
- The above is not an exhaustive list.
-
- We realize that some of these needs can be solved with
- stuff like ownerdraw, WM_CTLCOLOR and subclassing but
- this can be messy and involves a lot of work. The primary
- issue, again,is the 64k boundary.
-
- Chapter 8 of "advanced windows programming" addresses the
- problem but is still a lot of work.
