Text Editor using Ms Visual C++ 6.0

[palmersheila]

I am developing a text editor using MS Visual C++. I have used the application wizard for development. But how can I insert a horizontal scroll bar,insert the font option (the font face, font size and font style) and build a help file for my text editor? Can I find these on MSDN? Please help. Thanks.

you should specify in the window style the flag WS_HSCROLL

Have a look at the NotePad source. It comes as one of the sample programs with visual studio. Extremely useful for such things.

Are you using SDK, MFC or WTL? MFC and WTL automatically build the help file for you in RTF - all you need to do is edit it in word. SDK - you have to build it yourself. Haven't done this for 11 years and I can't remember how it is done but it is somewhere in MSDN help.
