Rich Edit Control Styles
The following window styles are unique to rich edit controls.
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
|
Disables scroll bars instead of hiding them when they are not needed. |
|
Prevents the control from calling the OleInitialize function when created. This window style is useful only in dialog templates because CreateWindowEx does not accept this style. |
|
Disables the IME operation. This style is available for Asian language support only. |
|
Disables support for drag-drop of OLE objects. |
|
Preserves the selection when the control loses the focus. By default, the entire contents of the control are selected when it regains the focus. |
|
Adds space to the left margin where the cursor changes to a right-up arrow, allowing the user to select full lines of text. |
|
Directs the rich edit control to allow the application to handle all IME operations. This style is available for Asian language support only. |
|
Displays the control with a sunken border style so that the rich edit control appears recessed into its parent window. |
|
Draws text and objects in a vertical direction. This style is available for Asian-language support only. |
Rich edit controls also support the following edit control styles.
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
|
Automatically scrolls text to the right by 10 characters when the user types a character at the end of the line. When the user presses the ENTER key, the control scrolls all text back to position zero. |
|
Automatically scrolls text up one page when the user presses the ENTER key on the last line. |
|
Centers text in a single-line or multiline edit control. |
|
Left aligns text. |
|
Designates a multiline edit control. The default is single-line edit control. |
|
Negates the default behavior for an edit control. The default behavior hides the selection when the control loses the input focus and inverts the selection when the control receives the input focus. If you specify ES_NOHIDESEL, the selected text is inverted, even if the control does not have the focus. |
|
Allows only digits to be entered into the edit control. |
|
Displays an asterisk (*) for each character typed into the edit control. This style is valid only for single-line edit controls. |
|
Prevents the user from typing or editing text in the edit control. |
|
Right aligns text in a single-line or multiline edit control. |
|
Specifies that a carriage return be inserted when the user presses the ENTER key while entering text into a multiline edit control in a dialog box. If you do not specify this style, pressing the ENTER key has the same effect as pressing the dialog box's default push button. This style has no effect on a single-line edit control. |
Rich edit controls do not support the following edit control styles.
