Margins

[Guest]

Has anyone out there set margins for a rich edit control? I just simply want to set a right margin for the entire control. I was browsing through the win32api.hlp file about rich edit controls and learned that the %EM_SETMARGINS for normal edit controls is not supported. I found info on setting indents,alignment etc. but nothing that said how to set the margins.

Thanks,

You can use %EM_SETTARGETDEVICE to set a WYSIWYG page (line) width.
It uses twips so:

US letter width = 12240 twips. The following example sets the
page width to US letter width, minus a left and right margin of
1 inch each = 12240 - (1440 x 2) = 9360 twips. (1 cm = 567 twips)

  LOCAL hDC AS LONG    'hEdit is RichEdits handle (hWnd)
 
  hDC = GetDC(hEdit)
  CALL SendMessage(hEdit, %EM_SETTARGETDEVICE, hDC, 9360)
  DeleteDc hDC
