I want to add some text on a dialog in VS 2005. I have installed Microsoft SDK on my system.
The text which I want to add is very big, it runs upto 4 pages.
So I decided to add edit control with scrollbar, which I am not able to do.
I tried adding through string table, but formatting was not maintained.
Plz let me know, how to show a formatted text upto 4 pages on a dialog.
My application is non MFC application.
Thanks in advance

The edit control has a hard limit of 65k worth of text. You may be running into that. Try a rich edit control.
Have you tried to set the MultiLine attribute of your edit control?
Have you tried manually adding "\r\n" for next line or "\t" for tab in the string buffer. That may do the trick.
Update: Say you want to break the text in two lines TCHAR szEditBoxBuffer[] = TEXT("Hello\r\nWorld"); may do the trick. For tabs TCHAR szEditBoxBuffer[] = TEXT("Hello\tWorld"); This is tedious but this is what i could think of.

How do you prevent Visual Basic from setting the default find (Ctrl+F) text to whatever iss selected?
For clarity: In Visual Basic for Applications if you bring up a Find box it automaticaly sets the "Find What:" text to whatever you have selected in the code window. Idealy, if I closed the find box it would reopen with the find text I had last used (like every other program).
Visual Basic for Applications 7.1
Microsoft Excel 365
I've checked all the standard menus, there's not many and I'm not sure where else an option like that could be stored.
While this is technically in the Visual Basic for Applications on an Excel file I've also observed the behavior in the other office applications.
Conclusions, you can't.
After looking further and feed back from others it appears you can't change the behavior of the Find What input box within Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. However, if you're looking to repeat a search pressing F3 to Find Next while your cursor is in the code window accomplishes much of the same thing.
Thanks JohnM, I think this is as close to an answer as I'm likly to get.
I am using Sublime 3 but I am a newbie. I was trying to define some preferences, like the font size. However, I messed up things and I am not being able to restore.
Currently, I have this two windows "dashboard":
How can I restore it to the default one-window view?
I tried to look for things over the preference menu, but checking/unchecking all the available options did not help me to solve this problem.
It looks like you added an extra column. Try going to View, then setting Layout to Single or use the keyboard shortcut: Shift+Alt+1.
If you used File/Split View, setting single column mode won't work. In this case I found you can just click on another tab and the split will go away. Not at all intuitive.
It's been a while that I've been reported about a problem on the software I'm on charge. I will try to explain it as much detailed as possible (Sorry if my english seems bad to you by the way ^^').
Context : The software has been developed as a Web Application (Java EE) + the framework Vaadin 6 (not 7). Since this project exists for about 4 or 5 years, the technology used isn't the newest but it's currently ok. This software is used by our internal clients so about a 70 users are using it per day. I'm on charge of this project for 9 months now.
Problem : Often, users copy some info (words, tables and so on) from others sources like a Word Document, or a PowerPoint. Then paste it into a RichTextArea. then they export all those info into an Excel (XLS) file. But sometimes, those pasted info aren't reported, or generate some HTML Tags (not understandable for most users).
What I had suggested : The RichTextArea has some tools, displayed with buttons, one of them is "Remove Formatting", if they press it, everything would be ok. But I had to agree with them, it isn't intuitive and "friendly" to use. Since they are my clients, I want to help them as much as possible.
What I want : I want that if they copy paste into the RichTextArea:
They should be invited to remove the format (with a notification on paste) by pressing the Remove Formatting Button, so I should valorize it.
Or automatically apply the remove formatting on paste.
But I couldn't achieve those solutions because I don't know how to detect the action of pasting, moreover, for the second solution, I couldn't retrieve on the code the remove formatting action.
Can you help me in order to achieve this please? Any tips that doesn't involve an other technology would be appreciated :)

If this is still relevant:
Not sure about the first approach. But the first thing that comes to my mind is to use usual change event. When user will paste the new text, you will be notified that values were changed. Then use any tool to clean HTML and get the simple text (I suggest to use something like jsoup because it is the easiest thing). Or, if you need something specific implement your own parser/cleaner. The last thing is to simply set a new text to the current area value.
Otherwise, you can use Vaadin add-ons which may provide such information. Just look for add-ons repository for CKEditor or TinyMCE Editor
i'm using Resharper 8.2.
Looking at ctrl+shift+v :
There are only 19 entries for history pastes.
Question:
Is there any file edit / setting edit that will allow me to increase the number of history entries ?
Nope, sorry. It's a hard coded limit. If you have that many entries, you might want to store them as some kind of snippet, either by dragging the text snippet to Visual Studio's Toolbox window, or by creating a ReSharper Live Template in the Templates Explorer.
I am using a Edit Control on my MFC VC++ project, my issue is that while I am writing on Edit Control box it takes all input text in a single row. [Enter] key is not working while I am writing on it. If I paste some lines then it will show in original format means newline works here. Plz somebody help me.. !! thanks
Use ES_WANTRETURN edit box style: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6e36b89f%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
You can set this style in the resource editor, or in dwStyle parameter of CEdit::Create method, if edit control is created in the code.
