That's what I thought the problem was, but when I added it to the uses clause it did not fix the problem. &nbsp;The really odd thing is I deleted it from the uses clause and then re-added it and everything is fine now. &nbsp;Thanks for the help!!!!

What's wrong with the Richedit wrapper?<br />
<br />
Problem doing it the good ole win32 way is you have to subclass it, do all the nitty gritty yourself when the wrapper has functionality like<br />
<br />
RicheditControl.Seltext:='<wbr />Sometext';<wbr /><br />
RicheditControl.Selattribu<wbr />tes.Color:<wbr />=ClRed;<br />
<br />
etc etc<br />

I'm porting the program from BPW and I have a zillion controls already defined, sized, located, etc., so I didn't want to start over by using the VCL.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've created a richedit control using the following code:<br />
<br />
TitleBoxWindow := Createwindow('RICHEDIT20a'<wbr />,'',TitleB<wbr />oxStyles,T<wbr />bX[1], TbY[1],TbX[2], Tby[2]-4,ParentWindow,0,hi<wbr />nstance,Ni<wbr />l);<br />
<br />
The control creates ok, and I can put text in it, but I need to format selected text and Delphi doesn't recognize the &quot;em_getcharformat&quot; message, or the &quot;tcharformat&quot; type. &nbsp;Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
