1. Single line RichEdit controls
Hi,
Is it possible to make single line RichEdit controls?
This page seems to indicate that you can just remove the ES_MULTILINE
style:

But that isn't working...
I added the line removeStyle(RE,ES_MULTILINE) to the richedit.exw
example program but it's richedit control remained multi-line.
Any ideas?

I think if you add WS_HSCROLL to the style( ES_AUTOHSCROLL if you
want ), and remove the ES_MULTILINE, you'll get a single-line RichEdit
control (with scroll bar).
When I tried it, it still showed the vertical scroll bars, but by
removing the WS_VSCROLL and ES_AUTOVSCROLL style bits, they were removed
from the window.
Without the horizontal scroll bars, it just stopped at the right-hand
edge, and wouldn't accept any more input (maybe it's just me though

Sure, try this...
myRE = create(RichEdit, "", thewin, x, y, w, h,
{WS_CHILD,
WS_VISIBLE,
WS_HSCROLL,
WS_TABSTOP,
ES_SAVESEL,
WS_BORDER
}
)

It seems that once the richedit control is created, you can't do much to
change its behaviour. So its best to create one how you want in the first
place.
