1. Win32Lib: RichEdit wordwrap
Hi folks! I've been using Win32Lib 0.52 for most of my projects,
but I want to switch everything to 0.55.
Under 0.52, my RichEdit control always displayed text word-wrapped.
When I change to 0.55, the text is not wrapped (so a paragraph shows
up as one long line). I'd like to include a menu option to switch
back and forth from wrapped to non-wrapped, but I can't find any
documentation on it. Is this possible?
Thanks
(BTW, I have used Eu and Win32 at work, a very large printing company,
writing file manip. utilites. My bosses might like it if I used C or
Delphi, but they *are* impressed with the speed of development and
processing using Eu. Thanks, Robert!)

I'm not sure why the word-wrap effect is not happening for you in RichEdit
controls. To stop richedit controls doing word wrap, the control must be
created with either WS_HSCROLL or WS_SCROLLBARS flag. Below is how the
v0.55.1 version is defined.
classStyle[RichEdit]=or_all({WS_CHILD,
WS_VISIBLE,
WS_VSCROLL,
ES_DISABLENOSCROLL,
ES_AUTOVSCROLL,
WS_TABSTOP,
ES_SAVESEL,
ES_MULTILINE,
WS_BORDER})
Does your version have the same code in it? Does your application change
these settings by calling the classDefaults() routine?

I haven't found any way to flip a RichEdit from word wrap to non-word wrap
after it has been created.

Hi again,
sorry, I don't think I made myself clear.
The 0.55 version you are now using, it should have these flags to work. If
it doesn't you should change your copy of w32lib.ew to match this...
classStyle[RichEdit]=or_all({WS_CHILD,
WS_VISIBLE,
WS_VSCROLL,
ES_DISABLENOSCROLL,
ES_AUTOVSCROLL,
WS_TABSTOP,
ES_SAVESEL,
ES_MULTILINE,
WS_BORDER})
The problem with 0.52 was that it did word wrap ok, but you couldn't scroll
up and down the text. By adding ...
WS_VSCROLL,
ES_DISABLENOSCROLL,
ES_AUTOVSCROLL,
you can scroll and see the vertical scroll bar.

I really don't think that it can be done. Once the control is created, the
wrapping mode is set. I can't even change the righthand margin, would might
have simulated no-wordwrap.
