[Dev-C++] error in new line EDIT control

[Noorez K. <lor...@ho...>]

In my file handling, I'm ending up with something like this when I attempt 
to read from a text file and print it out to an EDIT control:  Hello|how are 
you today.  Instead of the new line in the EDIT, I get a small black line. 
Hear is the function...

void OpenText(HWND main)
{
  char lpstrFile[256];

  char inLine[256];
  inLine[0] = '\0';

  char buffer[5000];
  buffer[0] = '\0';

  LPOPENFILENAME openFileInfo = new OPENFILENAME;

  getOFNproperties(main, openFileInfo, lpstrFile);

  if( !GetOpenFileName(openFileInfo) )
  {
    MessageBox(main,"Could Not Open","ERROR",MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
    return;
  }

  ifstream openTextFile(openFileInfo->lpstrFile);

  while( !openTextFile.eof() )
  {
    openTextFile.getline(inLine,500);
    //MessageBox(main,inLine,"Message", MB_OK);
    strcat(buffer,inLine);
  }

  SetDlgItemText(main, IDC_MAIN_EDIT, buffer);

  delete openFileInfo;
}

I also attached the whole program

Did you test \r\n in the edit box?

Reading a text file "as text" only loads a \n into memory.
