Hi,
Can anybody please tell me how to replace the CRichEditCtrl of CRichEDitView with our own CRichEditCtrl derived class (which may have some added functionality)in MFC.
Thanks

You can't replace the control, you need to make your own view class for that.

The faster and easiest option I see is to create a FormView instead of CRichEditView. Use a form that only contains your custom control. Then in your FormView derived class, handle resizing events to make your control take all space within the form.
