try this; char buff[] = "Test Data"; CStdioFile file("c:\\Test.txt", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite); file.WriteString( buff ); file.Close(); i think you forget to set file creation open flag.

Hi Vinay Try Using FindText, Here is a sample code, // The pointer to my rich edit control. CRichEditCtrl* pmyRichEditCtrl; // The string to search for. LPCTSTR lpszmyString; // Set the selection to be the first occurrence of the // string lpszmyString, if it is found. FINDTEXTEX ft; ft.chrg.cpMin = 0; ft.chrg.cpMax = -1; ft.lpstrText = (LPSTR) lpszmyString; long n = pmyRichEditCtrl->FindText(FR_MATCHCASE|FR_WHOLEWORD, &ft); if (n != -1) pmyRichEditCtrl->SetSel(ft.chrgText); Appu..

I have stored the word here which has to be hightlighted w = m_WORD; ---------------------------------- CHARFORMAT cf; memset(&cf, 0, sizeof(CHARFORMAT)); cf.cbSize = sizeof(CHARFORMAT); cf.dwMask = CFM_BOLD; cf.dwEffects = CFE_BOLD; UpdateData(TRUE); CString w; w = m_WORD; int len = strlen(word); char word_position[50]; char word_length[50]; // **** pseudo-code **** for (int p = 0; p < len ; p++) { m_FCONT.SetSel(word_position[p], word_length[p]); m_FCONT.SetSelectionCharFormat(cf); } Regards, Vinay Charan.

Hi Laxman, Now i have used CFile myFile("str", CFile::modeRead); how to pass the contents to Richedit box ?? I have created m_FCONT of type CRichEditCtrl .. I have no idea working with Rich Text

Hi !!! Your sample: ------------ ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "str" ,NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); My sample: ---------- ShellExecute(NULL, "open", str ,NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); You cannot give it into the quotes. I hope, I helped you. By. :laugh: -:KNOX:-

Hi !!! You can try to use this. 1.) str = FName.c_str(); 2.) str = (char[])FName; I hope, I helped you. By. :cool: -:KNOX:-

A_Laxman wrote: Hey Nibu, don't get confused , let me clear the working of UpdateData() :-D Hey I know how UpdateData works. But it's headache when you take a look at the code specially during maintenance (for me). So I tend to go for SetWindowText and GetWindowText.:) But it is not bad if it's sensibly used. I use it if I have to do one touch updation. For eg: when Save button is clicked, it works fine there for me. But I have seen people using UpdateData while writing Animation programs.:sigh: Bugs galore in such programs, because when UpdateData is called all variables bound to it are updated we cannot do selective updation.

Hi Laxman, Thank you very much for formating the output,code is working great.... I had used indentation,after copy paste of code it was altered.... Thanks once again .....:)

There is another way to do it :) Assign a "Control" variable to your edit box (CEdit m_textEdit). Use the method GetWindowText() for retrieving the results void CDemo::OnBnClickedSearchButton() { ... CString userResponseText; m_textEdit.GetWindowText(userResponseText); // userResponseText now contains user response.. ... } Here you don't need to worry about UpdateData that usually has side effects. Just wanted to give you another way to do it. -- **Ricky Marek** (_AKA: rbid_) -- "Things are only impossible until they are not" --- Jean-Luc Picard My articles
