Re: WordWrap in MleText
Ad,
You're welcome :) The test you sent is very similar to what I did *after* I
wrote you, which led me to my later observation about removing WS_HSCROLL.
After I saw what MS said about word wrap being a default, I had to see what
was making it NOT be functional, & took out ALL the styles of the MLE, and
then replaced them one at a time until I first saw word wrap work, and then
continued until it disappeared.
Looks like Derek is ahead of you, he's already made styles user
over-rideable.
You probably have a good reason, but why *wouldn't* you want word wrap in an
editor? Looks to me that RichText *already* functions with word wrap,
though.
