Rich Edit problem on XP!

[viorel15]

The RichEdit control is limited to a number of chars. It seems that number is smaller under XP platform then Me platform.
My problem is that i have a big file and I can not load it into the RichEdit (on Windows Me works just fine).
So, what can I do?

viorel,

did you try sending the control an EM_EXLIMITTEXT message? The text below is from the MSDN library:

The EM_EXLIMITTEXT message sets an upper limit to the amount of text the user can type or paste into a rich edit control.

To send this message, call the SendMessage function with the following parameters.

SendMessage(
(HWND) hWnd, // handle to destination window
EM_EXLIMITTEXT, // message to send
(WPARAM) wParam, // not used; must be zero
(LPARAM) lParam // text limit
);
Parameters
wParam - This parameter is not used; it must be zero.
lParam - Specifies the maximum amount of text that can be entered. If this parameter is zero, the default maximum is used, which is 64K characters. A COM object counts as a single character.
Return Values - This message does not return a value.

Remarks
The text limit set by the EM_EXLIMITTEXT message does not limit the amount of text that you can stream into a rich edit control using the EM_STREAMIN message.

Before EM_EXLIMITTEXT is called, the default limit to the amount of text a user can enter is 32,767 characters.
