Thanks Joe. Let me start with the last question -
I have to create rich edit at runtime because I dont have access to
dialog template at design view. The spaces and ES_OEMCONVERT was
something that I overlooked, thanks.

I knew about StreamIn & StreamOut and thats what I ended up using (I
had already tried that in one more rich edit). But I have also
experienced that if you create the rich edit control at design time
then the code I put together does work. I am pretty much sure that
this difference is to do with the fact that using SetWindowText we
cannot specify that the content is UNICODE characters (which can be
done using SF_UNICODE) in StreamIn/Out. I think I even tried
EM_SETTEXTEX but that didnt work either. And all this only when I
create the control at runtime. There is an article in MSDN which
mentions that CRichEditCtrl always creates RichEditA object even
though you compile the project with UNICODE. Can that be the reason? I
dont know but I would certainly want to know.

Thanks,
Neel.

I've just come up against this problem too, having converted my app to
Unicode. I have a window which encapsulates a CRichEditCtrl into which I put
strings from string resources. Having to use StreamIn() for this is pretty
clunky. Any ideas/solutions gratefully received!

I should emphasise that it worked fine (using CRichEditCtrl::SetWindowText()
to display RTF) before the app was Unicode.

How did this compile? If the app is UNICODE, don't you need to say:

strTxt = _T("{\\rtf1\\ansi This is in \\b bold\\b0.})"; // need to
add _T()


Further, the result seems to indicate the RichEditCtrl parsed some of the
text successfully (it got the first part, with "\rtf1") right. So whatever
the format of the string you passed it, it at least worked that far.

But look... what if you replaced "\\rtf1\ansi" with "\\rtf1\unicode"? I
don't know if that's valid RTF, but I don't think you should be specifying
"Ansi" when it's a "Unicode" string.

I tried to use the built-in Windows Write application to generate a document
with RTF and save in Unicode, but guess what? Write didn't have an option
to save Unicode RTF! I guess if you choose RTF it's always Ansi. The only
way to save Unicode is to save in text format.

Good luck,

Seems the RichEditCtrl specified "\rtf1\uc1"... maybe "uc1" means Unicode.
So try altering

strTxt = "{\\rtf1\\uc1 This is in \\b bold\\b0.}"; // replace "ansi"
with "uc1"


Good luck,
