CEdit Multiline, Load Problem

[ronnyjljr]

Hello again.

I am trying to save text from a multiline CEdit control.
I used GetWindowText() and it retrieves the data as one giant line, which is ok. Now when I load the text back in, the only text that is loading is the text before the first newline. So I tried converting it to a Cstring and used the trim function to trim the \r\n and \n characters before writing to a file. But I still can not get it to load past the first newline character. Any help?

Them: What project?
Me: The one you have been working on for the last 3 years!
Them: Ohh, we can't finish it?
Me: Why?
Them: We don't know how to program...

BTW I am using fgets(fp,line,1000);
To get the lines.. Maybe my problem?

Since you're using MFC anyway you could use CFile to read the entire string. It doesn't get much easier then this:

  CString txt;
  {
    CFile f("theFilename",CFile::modeRead);
    DWORD len = f.GetLength();
    f.Read(txt.GetBuffer(len),len);
    txt.ReleaseBuffer();
  } // CFile closed automatically when leaving scope

  // txt now holds the entire file.

If this doesn't work then your problem is elsewhere. You sure the edit control is has its multiline style set?
