I'd like to use Rich edit control's underline color in MFC
but, in afxwin.h, _RICHEDIT_VER define 0x210. like this,
#define _RICHEDIT_VER 0x0210
I'm loading 'msftedit.dll'(8.1 Version) and Windows10 SDK (10.0.16299.0) but, bUnderlineColor is coded in Richedit.h
#if (_RICHEDIT_VER >= 0x0800)
BYTE bUnderlineColor; // Underline color
#endif
If I don't use wrapping class(CRichEditCtrl), Can I use this in MFC project. and How?
You can declare your own structure and add bUnderlineColor. Use this in CRichEdit::SendMessage(EM_SETCHARFORMAT...)
This method is hack though. Maybe there is a better way to convince MFC to cooperate.
#ifdef UNICODE
struct MY_CHARFORMAT8 : _charformatw //<--- edited
#else
struct MY_CHARFORMAT8 : _charformat
#endif
{
WORD wWeight; // Font weight (LOGFONT value)
SHORT sSpacing; // Amount to space between letters
COLORREF crBackColor; // Background color
LCID lcid; // Locale ID
union
{
DWORD dwReserved; // Name up to 5.0
DWORD dwCookie; // Client cookie opaque to RichEdit
};
SHORT sStyle; // Style handle
WORD wKerning; // Twip size above which to kern char pair
BYTE bUnderlineType; // Underline type
BYTE bAnimation; // Animated text like marching ants
BYTE bRevAuthor; // Revision author index
BYTE bUnderlineColor; // Underline color
};
MY_CHARFORMAT8 format;
memset(&format, sizeof(format), 0);
format.cbSize = sizeof(format);
format.dwMask = CFM_UNDERLINETYPE | CFM_UNDERLINE;
format.dwEffects = CFE_UNDERLINE;
format.crBackColor = RGB(255,0,0);
format.bUnderlineType = CFU_UNDERLINEHAIRLINE;
format.bUnderlineColor = 0x06; //red underline color
m_richedit.SetSel(0, -1);
m_richedit.SendMessage(EM_SETCHARFORMAT, SCF_SELECTION, (LPARAM)&format);
Requires initial call to AfxInitRichEdit()
Rich edit control has to be created manually with Create (not using SubclassDlgItem or DDX_Control), example:
m_richedit.Create(ES_MULTILINE | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD, rc, this, id);
Result:
