Hi,
In my MFC dialog based application I want to align the text vertically in edit control. My Edit control is not using WS_BORDER style.

What I have tried:

Through this link c++ - How can we vertically align text in edit box? - Stack Overflow[^] I am able to solve the problem.
That link is handling ON_WM_NCCALCSIZE() and ON_WM_NCPAINT() messages.I would like to know can I meet my requirement by overriding only onPaint() without overriding ON_WM_NCCALCSIZE() and ON_WM_NCPAINT() messages?

Solution 1

Use a multi-line text box and add you own line breaks as needed.

Remove the line breaks when saving (use markers).

Input should always be "cleaned" / trimmed in any event.
