- Hello all,
-
- I am developing an application (using Borland C++) in which I need a
- window which contains text (read only) and this text may contain
- multiple highlighted selections. Can this be done simply
- with the Windows API or does this need complex text manipulation
- and display code to be written?
-
- More generally, how do you get a text window in which you can
- display (and/or edit) text which is not all in the same style
- (e.g. different fonts/sizes/colours etc)? Are there third party
- libraries (preferably with source) which provide this kind
- of functionality?
-
- Many thanks in advance
- Dave McNally
