caret, mouse and keyboard
-
I know how to create a mdi using AppWizard. So far I have not been able to find any information on how to get a simple word processor program up and running like wordpad or word that shows a caret and receives input with the mouse and keyboard from the user. I have read articles on understanding the document and view classes, but so far, nothing about the "nuts and bolts" of a basic word processor application. I don't want to draw lines or click the mouse to make boxes and use paint to paint pretty lines. Those are good for learning, but not practical for what I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get started on this project. Thanks so much!!!:doh: RRL

here[^] is a colorizing edit control i wrote (mostly). it takes a lot of code to do what it does, but it's still a fairly simple editor. with a little digging, you should be able to figure out how i do the mouse and caret handling. Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker
