 Putting text into an Edit box from a file Hi, Is it possible to read an ASCII file and put the contents into a multi-line
Edit Box? If so, can the contents be written back out to a file?
I want to create a simple pop-up applet to edit small utility files. I
would just call Notepad, but I also need a couple of buttons on there to
perform additional tasks. Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about
(~10k):

Thanks to anyone who can help me,

IIRC, you read the file & then use SetWindowText to set the text in the edit box. If you're using DDX, then just set the member variable for the edit box to the string. HTH

Putting text into an Edit box from a file Hi Fran, Use AppWhiz to generate an SDI app. In the last step set the view type to
CEditView. Now you have an app that already knows how to read an ASCII file
into an edit control and then save it back again. For some ideas on how to go
about customizing it, look over the Superpad sample app that comes with VC.

Putting text into an Edit box from a file Hi Jim, Thanks again, this is pretty much what I was looking for. It is not
monumentally important, but is there a way to change the default size of the
dialog?
Thanks,

Putting text into an Edit box from a file Sure. Override PreCreateWindow in the CMainFrame and set the sizes in the CREATESTRUCT that gets passed in. Quote:
