[Win32Lib] weird RichEdit problem

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

I'm trying to develop an application alternately on a laptop & a desk pc,
but a part of the app doesn't run correctly on the desktop, though it runs
just fine on the laptop.

The two systems are both running Eu 2.3 & Win32Lib 59.01 for the app, and
the only difference I can see between them is that the desk pc has Windows
98 1st ed, & the laptop has Windows 98 2nd ed.

The relevant parts of the program are these:
1.  a listbox & a richedit;
2.  clicking on an item in the list causes "stuff" to be loaded into the
richedit; some
items cause a lot of stuff to be loaded, others just load a little;  in all
cases the stuff loaded contains at least the item from the list, with some
elaboration;
3.  after the stuff is loaded into the richedit, it is searched for the item
that was clicked on from the list, & when found it is "selected" (hilighted)
in the richedit, & if the stuff in the richedit was really big, the richedit
automagically pages down to the "selected" item.

The problem is this:
All of the above *happens* on the laptop; but on the desk pc, for one large
"page" of stuff in the richedit, the *selection* & page movement only
happens down to some particular item.
The item which is the start of the problem is at character #32787 in the
richedit.
All items at & after that one do NOT select (hilite) anything, & moves down
to show the end of the "page" of text. (And if I look back up to where that
item would be in the richedit, it is not selected.)

Since that character count number, 32787, looks suspiciously like a boundary
limit in the richedit, I'm wondering if that is somehow the culprit, & if
so, what I can do to fix it?  All the text SHOWS in the richedit, it's just
that some found "lines" don't get selected as they should.

TIA,
Dan Moyer
