Editable text area vs Static text area

[saidolsol]

lo,
now i can use CString for buffering (thanks John).
That let me realize that the problem is in the text area.
If i use static text everything works well, but if i use editable text area the new line character is replaced by a vertical black bar symbol, and the text is not displayed well.
The easy answer is to use static text, but it don't know how to insert a vertical scroll bar that let me see the whole text.
So two questions...
¿how can i insert a vertical scroll bar in a static text area? if it's possible.
¿how can i display text correctly, with new line characters, using an editable text area?

thanx.
gracias.
gràcies.

use an edit control with styme CS_MULTILINE|CS_AUTOSCROLL. All the problem will disappear. John Fill

hi,
the static text hasn't multiline nor scrolling properties, that's what class wizard say. It's only allowed with editable text and i have already done this. I can scroll the edit control but there are no new line characters.
That's the reason i want to use the static text, because it displays my text perfectly. But i can't use a scroll bar to see the entire text.

thanx.

If you want a newline in an edit control, you have to use \r\n rather than just \n. I ran into a similar problem, and found this solution.

\r\n? No kiddin'. Jeez, I've been lookin' for that answer now for some time. Thanks StukA. I'm going to go try it right now.

FYI: the \r\n sequence used in windows text is also known as "crlf" which I believe stands for:
"carriage return - line feed"

For linebreaks
unix uses just \n
mac uses (I believe) \r
and windows uses \r\n
