I'd like to make a (simple) minimal file viewer to use in a Win32Lib program; what I'd like it to do is: 1. Allow selection of file to view (I can do this, with the "open file" dialog); 2. Read the file & put the contents into a control (I should be able to do this ok, too); 3. Allow text SELECTION and COPY (to clipboard) from the viewed file; (I see copy to clipboard function, but don't know how to specify some text is SELECTED) 4. DISALLOW text entry, paste (into the viewed file), and file save; The point is to enable VIEWING a file and copying FROM it, without allowing the file itself to be changed in the process. Is there a simple way to do this, such as using existing controls, with alternative parameters set (those arcane style things like: WS_CHILD, ES_LEFT,ES_MULTILINE)? I Don't want to have to re-invent the wheel if it's already been done. Dan Moyer
