| That's not correct. Since Windows 95 the Rich Edit Control is shipped with
| Windows as part of the Windows API, like the "Edit", "Button", etc.

"To create a rich edit control, call the CreateWindowEx function, specifying 
the rich edit window class."

At your link the first sentence says this:

"The original specification for rich edit controls is Microsoft Rich Edit 
1.0;"

   A control is a wrapper. As quoted above, the API
provides a RichEdit *window*. One can
create a control using that window. Which is what I said to
the OP. The window itself has no COM properties or methods,
only API messages. Which you know....

   I'm just trying to clear up any confusion in the
discussion, in case the OP thinks he can use some kind
of "Windows RichEdit control" separate from a RichTextBox,
and then only need to use the API for his one specific need.
It wasn't clear to me that he understood that he'd need to
build his control if he starts with a RichEdit window.

  Why are you always splitting hairs lately?
