MORE INFORMATION

With the new dialog editor in Visual C++ 5.0, it is possible to add a Rich Edit control into a dialog template by dragging the control from the control palette. However, doing this in the dialog editor does not ensure that the required Riched32.dll library will be loaded before the Rich Edit control is created. In Win32 SDK, it is necessary to call the LoadLibrary function to load Riched32.dll before the dialog creation. In MFC, the global function AfxInitRichEdit does this for you. All you need to do is call this function before you create the dialog.

Please use the online help to get more information on AfxInitRichEdit function.

1. Create a new project as follows: File\New\Projects\MFC AppWizard(exe).
2. Create an SDI or MDI application and in step 6 of Appwizard select CFormview as the Base class for the view.
3. Add a Rich Edit control to the main dialog template for the formview in the dialog editor.
4. Build the application.
5. Press the F5 key to start the debugger. Notice that a message box appears indicating that the empty document could not be created.
