RichEdit50W in a dialog using VC6

[Itoope...@sequencepublishing.com]

I have a legacy project in VC6 that has a dialog with a rich control in it. I now need to insert hyperlinks but the projects links against Riched32.dll by default and links are not supported.

I've seen some examples in CodeProject but I just can't figure it out. I would so much appreciate straightforward code that simply loads the latest rich edit control.

Thank you all in advance.

You may be out of luck. At the time of writing MFC supports either RichEdit 1.0 or RichEdit 2.0 (which is really 3.0 depending upon you OS).

To use the more modern version of the control Call AfxInitRichEdit2() in you init instance but beware the many breaking changes if you are using MBCS rather than UNICODE.
