Hi

Suppose you add a CRichEditCtrl to a Dialogbox and you use the class wizard to name the instane m_RichEdit.

In the override of OnInitDialog, add the following line:

m_RichEdit.SetEventMask( ENM_CHANGE);

Now add the handler for the message EN_CHANGE with the class wizard.

That's it ...

Don't forget to add the function AfxInitRichEdit() in the InitInstance function

but this will also give me notification everytime a user types something. I only need to handle pasting

another suggestion
subclass the control and write handlers for WM_PASTE and EM_PASTESPECIAL
