1. RE: RichEdit title bar text
A control is not a window. A window contains the control. Use
setText() on the window containing the richedit control.

2. RE: RichEdit title bar text
I guess I have to retract my reply since the PSDK states that "A rich
edit control is a window in which the user can enter, edit, format,
print, and save text." I didn't know that you could have a richedit
control with a title...
I'll have to figure out the the correct message to send to the control.

3. RE: RichEdit title bar text
Technically, all controls are windows. Some just have more interesting
event handlers. :)
Tone, are you saying that you've created a RichEdit with WS_CAPTION? You
might try manually sending WM_SETTEXT. setText() will use SetWindowText()
for a RichEdit, which goes to the edit part of the RichEdit, rather than the
window caption. The docs for SetWindowText() say that it will correctly
change the caption on a listbox with WS_CAPTION set, but I've never tried to
put a caption on a RichEdit control directly.

4. RE: RichEdit title bar text
Got me... both 'SetWindowText' and message WM_SETTEXT appear to set
*both* the title and the data (on WinXP). Not sure how you'd get around
this one. The only thing I can think of is that RichEdit controls
aren't meant to have captions(?)

5. RE: RichEdit title bar text
I guess this is how I would get around it. Create a child window
containing the richedit control. This way you can set the title of the
child window using setText(). You can also resize the window...
----------------------
include Win32Lib.ew
without warning
constant
Win = create( Window, "Main", 0, Default, Default, 400, 400, 0 ),
ChildWin = create( Window, "Sub Window", Win, 0, 0, 0, 0,
{WS_SIZEBOX,WS_CAPTION,WS_CHILD} ),
Redt = create( RichEdit, "", ChildWin, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 )
procedure onResize_ChildWin( integer id, integer event, sequence params
)
setRect( Redt, 0, 0, params[2], params[3], 0 )
end procedure
setHandler( ChildWin, w32HResize, routine_id( "onResize_ChildWin" ) )
procedure onOpen_Win( integer id, integer event, sequence params )
openWindow( ChildWin, Normal )
setRect( ChildWin, 10, 10, 370, 350, 1 )
end procedure
setHandler( Win, w32HOpen, routine_id( "onOpen_Win" ) )
WinMain( Win, Normal )

To me richedit is a control which is a child to some window.
That window has a caption title.
The title that is associated with a richedit control
would be a document title.
Therefore a richedit control has no caption.

Not quite. The answer (so far) is that there is no way you can ONLY set the
RichEdit caption text.
The standard ways of setting the RichEdit text also set its caption.
------------
include win32lib.ew
object VOID
constant w = createEx(Window, "Titled", 0, 0, 0, 300, 300, 0, 0)
constant re = createEx(RichEdit, "re", w, 10, 10, 200, 200, WS_CAPTION, 0)
VOID = w32Func( xSetWindowText, { getHandle( re ), "My Test Caption" } )
WinMain(w, Normal)
-----------------
If you want a captioned-RichEdit effect, you may have to resort to emulating
the caption by using another control (eg. LText) that pretends to be its
caption area.
