Aligning text in CRichEditCtrl

[Sprudling]

I want the text in a CRichEditCtrl to appear as in a console, with the "latest" line at the bottom and all text bottomaligned, so that if there is just one line it'll be alone at the bottom. Is there a way of implementing this...? Sprudling :confused:

You can use CRichEditCtrl::SetRect(). Apply the number of lines, the font height and some math. :)

Or might want to try CRichEditCtrl::SetParaFormat

How could CRichEditCtrl::SetParaFormat help me? Sprudling

Thanks; how to calculate a font's height? :) And what if I've turned on wrapping (no horizontal scoll). Will that count as a new line or not? (When returned from CRichEditCtrl::GetLineCount()) Sprudling

The height can be calculated using CDC::GetTextExtent(). As for the wrapping, I have no clue :) You will have to try it.
