I asked a question a while back about how to make a standard Windows text field, where the user could do everything like copy, paste, cut, highlight text, etc. I never really found the solution I was hunting for. But another question here got me thinking. Someone asked about using the Open/Browse dialog from the Windows API, and was able to get it to work. I did a little research, and text boxes ARE part of Win API. Look here:

I think there's another type called "Rich Edit Box", which may be the one I'm looking for. So I know this IS API stuff. However, I don't see it anywhere in the windows.h list. Is it even in there? And if so, how can I utilize it? If I can do this through Lite-C, it will save me the loads of frustration of doing different projects in C++, when I can just use Lite-C and be done with it.

So if you know anything about this, please advise. smile
