Re: [Dev-C++] How to display a text on the fly ?

[Phil <tsy...@ya...>]

Hello Abhijit,

Many thanks for your answer.

>Use the ES_READONLY style flag.

Yep, Well, in fact with the WS_CAPTION, it is OK also
to be "read only", which gives me also a text-bar.
But tnx for the info.

As for the displayed datas, I need them to be
displayed as soon as they are received. So I have to
call SetWindowText() for each received data. Well, I
can save 50% of the calls, the user will hardly see
the difference in getting each info / 0.5 second or 2
infos/second ;o)

Now, using WriteFile() and SetWindowsText(), I have
noticed something strange abt the '\n', which is saved
as "non-displayable" by WriteFile. If I write my file
via WriteFile, then the text file loaded to my text
area (via SetWindowsText) does not include the "CR" as
wanted but a "non-displayable" char. Same behaviour
when I display my buffer directly to the text area via
SetWindowsText().
When I write my text file (same buffer) via the usual
fprintf()/fputs(), then the '\n' is OK and
SetWindowsText displays it the way I want.
I can not find out the good option/flag to get '\n' as
a "good" CR :o(

Well, anyway tnx again for your help, very useful and
appreciated indeed !

Phil.

PS: As I am a subscriber to this list (!), I get your
answer via the list _too_ ;o)
FWIW & no hurt.
