Rich Edit Control on a CXTPShortcutPane Client

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am having problems attaching a CRichEditCtrl to a CXTPShortcutPane. When replaced by a CEdit control, everything works fine.

I have also tried to use the exact creation code in a CDialog and the CRichEdit is functioning properly.

In my code, I am overriding the "Create" function of the "CXTPShortcutPane" derived class and have added the following code:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

BOOL CInfoViewPane::Create(LPCTSTR lpszCaption, CXTPShortcutBar* pParent)
{

   if (!CXTPShortcutBarPane::Create(lpszCaption, pParent))
      return FALSE;

   SetIndent(0,0,0,0);
   CXTPShortcutBarPaneItem* pPane;

   DWORD w_RichEd = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_VSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE;

   m_richedit.Create(w_RichEd, CRect(0,0,0,0), this, IDC_INFO_BOX);

   m_richedit.LimitText(1000);

   DWORD REOptions = (ECO_AUTOVSCROLL | ECO_AUTOHSCROLL | ECO_NOHIDESEL | ECO_SAVESEL | ECO_SELECTIONBAR);

   m_richedit.SetOptions(ECOOP_OR, REOptions);
   m_richedit.SetBackgroundColor(FALSE, GetSysColor(COLOR_3DFACE)); 

   CHARFORMAT cfm;
   cfm.cbSize = sizeof(cfm);
   cfm.dwMask = CFM_COLOR | CFM_BOLD | CFM_SIZE | CFM_FACE;
   cfm.dwEffects = 0;
   cfm.yHeight = 200;
   cfm.crTextColor = RGB(0,0,0);
   _tcscpy (cfm.szFaceName, _T("Trebuchet MS"));
   m_richedit.SetDefaultCharFormat(cfm);

   pPane = AddItem(_T("Info"), &m_richedit, 115);

   return TRUE;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

The problem is that the pane containing a richedit control is not updated when its shortcut it is supposed to.

Please note that my CXTPShortcutBar derived class is also derived from CView and is attached to a splitter frame when the program starts.

I have been working on this problem for three days with no clue.

Thanks in advance,
