Re: RichEdit control question

| Right, that's why I was asking about the WinAPI RichEdit control.

   That makes it confusing. There's no such thing
as a RichEdit control in the API. A control is a wrapper
around the API or other functionality. There's a
RichEdit library. (Which comes in several versions,
but that's probably not relevant here.) In other words,
if you use the API there's no control. There's API. :)

  You can access that directly if you want to. Once
you're using an API-created RichEdit window you can
control it, but you'll need to write your own properties
and methods for it.

  Mainly you want to deal with the EM_ messages. I
doubt there are any to do what you want,
so you'd want to read in the file and parse the richtext
directly. That's not really a big deal. You just need to work
out how "hidden" text is marked in RTF.

   I don't know what to recommend for VB.Net. VBAccelerator.com
has a VB sample of an API-created RichEdit window. From there
you just need to work out parsing routines. I do it in VB, for
color-coding routines I use, by pointing an integer array at the
string content and tokeninzing through that. It's very fast and
adaptable. I haven't the faintest idea of what the .Bloat
equivalent of that would be, but if you know VB then maybe
you can work it out.

  Possible. The best way to check would be to fiund Microsoft's
docs for RichEdit. Each version has added more functionality.
You could start here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb787873%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

That page is circa XP. I don't know if there's a more recent
update.
