Clearing a CRichTextCtrl? Not in XP...
-
In this piece of code I expect a CRichEditCtrl to clear itself. It works fine in Win98, in XP nothing happens.
UpdateData(TRUE);
m_profileCtrl.UpdateData(TRUE);
m_profile.Empty();
m_profile.Delete(0,m_profile.GetLength());
m_profile = _T("");
m_profileCtrl.UpdateData(FALSE);
UpdateData(FALSE);Of course this piece of code is a bit overkill, yet it should work. :) Am I making some sort of stupid mistake, or can I safely blame XP? Also, is there another way to clear a text box properly? Cheers!

Try adding an
UpdateWindowcall at the end (though I thought it should work without it.) Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y DesarrolloI found it! You'll NEVER believe it, but the ONLY way to make it work was by setting the text to a space _T(" "); Unbelievable! Thanks for your quick answer though!

Hmmm... this does seem like a bug to me. Maybe someone else here can enlighten us. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

It was very odd, and frustrating, as I don't have XP myself. So I kept sending patches, but they didn't work :) - Griffith

Just a hunch; try it without misusing the
CStringobject:CRichEditCtrl::SetWindowText( _T( "" ) );Peace! -=- James. "Fat people are hard to kidnap." (Try Check Favorites Sometime!) -

(Try Check Favorites Sometime!)That was about the first thing that came to mind with me, and much to my surprise that didn't work. Especially because the CRichEditCtrl::Clear(); fuction refused to work too.

Then that sounds like either (1) a serious bug in the RE Control, or (2) a redraw problem. Peace! -=- James. "Fat people are hard to kidnap." (Try Check Favorites Sometime!)
