MFC CEditView and SetWindowText() not working!

[ashorton]

I have added a CEditView to a splitter pane in my MDI application. In the OnInitialUpdate function I send some default text the the View using the SetWindowText() function. This works fine. However if I try to clear or change the text using SetWindowText later nothing happens. I have called InvalidateRect() hoping this will refresh the view. But it does not.

Has anyone come across this problem?

Hi

Here is the code I use to do it. It is called in one function of the CEditView-derived class:

GetEditCtrl().SetWindowText( "this is a test"

I never need to do anything else and it works
