Add text to rich edit control

[iranor]

Ok, so I created an empty c++ project on visual studio. I created the main window, now I just added a Rich Edit control on it.

I don't know how to write text to it using code... I don't want to use an mfc app btw. I tried hTextZone->ReplaceSel("sometext"); and hTextZone->Lines->Add("text"); but I can't write text to my rich edit control.

LRESULT CALLBACK MainWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    static HWND hTextZone;
    LoadLibrary("RICHED20.DLL");

switch (uMsg)
    {
		case WM_CREATE:
    hTextZone = CreateWindow("RichEdit20A", "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_READONLY | ES_NUMBER | WS_BORDER |  WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 5, 5, 580, 402, hwnd, NULL, hinst, NULL);
return 0;

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried "SetText"?

From the Platform SDK documentation:

ES_READONLY
Prevents the user from typing or editing text in the edit control.

Could this be the problem?

Good luck,
