URGENT: Windows based Text Editor

[palmersheila]

I am developing a Windows based text editor. And I am using Microsoft Visual C++ Application Wizard to develop it. Some of the functions have been generated by the wizard. I am now working on the other functions like (Delete, Redo, Print Preview, Status bar, Scrollbars, etc)
I welcome any advice/suggestion/guidance/help as I have no prior knowledge of applicatin development.

Thanx, Sheila

Hi There.

I am using VC++ version 6.0 and it already provides you with a basic Text Editor for free.

Select File->New->Project
MFC AppWizard (EXE)

Select Single Document Interface (SDI).
Keep pressing Next until you are can select your Base Class (normally CView or CWinApp). Instead select Base Class CEditView.

Select Finish

You should then have a very basic wordprocessor already written for you. Press F5 to compile and run it (say yes to create executable) and you should be all done.

Check out the source code for Wordpad, its comes with MSDN. That'd give you some hints on how things can be done...

Thanks for the info..
I have donwloaded the WordPad sample from MSDN. But there seems to be a problem. After unzipping the file, I opened wordpad.sln But then I can't seem to build it. I opened the .sln file using Ms Visual C++ 6.0
