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 )
