let me preface this by saying I am basically a mainfame programer so then I appreciate your expertise so here goes
SetTextWindow gives me one line to fill out with no choice for color background color or font
If I for instance use an ownerdraw static window my OnDrawitem could handle an rcItem Rect with possibly multiple lines allowing me to have my own font and color ?

Then what does prevent you to implement some user defined control (derived from CStatic or, better, from CWnd), place it above or below your RichEdit and draw what you want using CDC class in this control?
Just try it! Then if you wouldn't happy with such implementation then your next step were to move the code to the OnNcPaint handler.

Make sure you are using the correct DC. Windows loves to clip stuff when drawing.

I did a quick searchereno using what we use, Lucene.net, and it's query syntax, and obtained:
XFontDialog - Customizing CFontDialog Part I: Adding Font Filters[^]
If you scroll down to the end of the page where the last image is perfunctorily displayed perhaps you'll see what I saw and think Is this what a non-client area customization looks like?

No offense to you youngsters...
I'm looking for someone or people who have scars from activeX development. Yes, I know it's obsolete, but unknown to most of you the world runs on existing code.
Rather than pollute the forum, you can find me at cgilley2640@gmail.com.
This is a cash opportunity - I'm stuck. Email me and I'll give you the particulars.

Because it's all written in C++?  I'll move it.
Also, I did not realize the discussion board list had multiple levels. Just learned something new.

happily, after dancing with this for many years, I have resolved my bug. As in most cases, it was a series of cascading failures, but ultimately, it came down to an arcane threading issue in COM.
Of course, the error message was "failed to load control, is it properly registered?" which had nothing to do with the real problem.
Happy to have this monkey off my back.

Hi
I got a link error
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea referencing this API
DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea
I did include in my VS property pages Linker->general-> input dwmapi.lib tried to open it (the dwmapi.lib) with depedency Walker got no DOS or PE signature. I opened dwmapi.dll from windows\system32 and saw the API thru dependency walker inluded dwmapi.h in the source. The Doc has Dwmapi with a capitol D but both .lib and the dll had small d
Any help appreciated thanks

thanks

Hi I am trying to write a caption to my modeless dialog box I did a getwindowrect and screen to client as the negative "y" coordinates would be where I would want to place my text
did dc->Setcolor to blue got my text extents from CDC When I did a dc->textout nothing happened
I also noticed Cwnd has DrawCaption but doesnt take a parameter for Text. DrawText however has a DT_TEXT flag but where does it pick up the text
Can you write a caption using a device context
Thanks

It sounds like you are trying to write in the title bar of the window - is that right? The easy way is to call SetWindowText() on the dialog box HWND (or do whatever the MFC equivalent is) and let the default dialog proc handle drawing your text.
Otherwise you would have to draw in the non-client area, which has its own WM_NCPAINT message to handle.
|

|

thanks I choose the later NC_CLIENT might I ask you a few follow up questions 1) is there a way to determine the NC area,like GetWindowNCRect. In Additon TextOut is giving me issues would I be better off using DrawText would it need to be preceded by DrawCaption
Not sure as
if you could steer me the right direction would appreciate it

Check the file name and make sure that it is where you think it is, and is not protected against write access.

i chk all is ok n its not write protected at all....
now what can i do
|
|

Sorry, it is impossible to tell what may be the problem without access to your system.
|
|
|
|
|
I just tried your actual code on my system and it works fine, so the problem must definitely be something to do with the file or its location.

its my card storage connected on usb 3.0 port
on usb 2.0 its working fine

You need to check in Settings to make sure it is accessible. You can try a simple copy from File Explorer as a start.
|
|
|
|
|
Two things
First you are a person which has specific access to the file system.
Your application is not you. The access it has depends on how it runs.
You as a person are likely checking the access but that does not mean the application has it.
Second the directories also determine access.
You can programmatically request information about permissions. Write some code that returns that information from EACH level of the directory tree including the drive letter. Then inspect that.
