Thanks alot. it solved my problem

You're welcome! :) regards

A quite complicated solution : Use GetSel to retrieve the caracter number. Make a loop on LineFromChar with parameter the character number, which you decrement until LineFromChar changes. Then, the first number minus the final one should give you the pos. long int i,j; m_RichEditCtrl.GetSel(&i,&j); i=(i ~RaGE();

And for the window title, you can use this: char Buffer[255]; CWnd* pNewWnd = YourWindow->FromHandle(YourHandle) pNewXnd->GetWindowText(Buffer,254); YourWindow is a CWnd (doesn't matter wich one). FromHandle returns the CWnd* attached to the Handle 'YourHandle'!
