Setting a CEdit control text value and it word-wrap

Question

I have a CEdit control and I have it set as multiline in the resources.

The user can type text and if it is too wide for the control it will word wrap. Great.

Now, I know that I can pass in a string and include new line characters like \n to cause it to show text of multiple lines.

But if I have a single line of text, that is too long, it will not work wrap. :( So how do I deal with that?

I found the solution here.

I had to set the ES_AUTOHSCROLL property to false.

Now it works:

Cancel/OK order looks more like Mac style, not Windows. – cha Mar 14 '17 at 03:58

WS_HSCROLL should also be removed. – ViH Apr 20 '21 at 13:53
