Hello Everyone,

In my Dialog based application I have placed a Edit box with Read Only and Multiline properties. I am displaying 1300 or more values in the edit box. But on scrolling down the values get over written. In short the window is not getting updated or Repaint. Please help me out. I am almost at the end of my application and I can't go for any other method.

In my application, m_EditBox is the variable for Edit Box and m_szBuffer is the CString variable for the same.

On Button event I am using the following lines to display the values in edit box.

C++

{
m_szBuffer = szTemp;
UpdateData(FALSE);
}

Solution 1

If m_szBuffer is the variable for EditBox (a strange name) so you need to write something like this:

C++

CEdit *m_szBuffer;

 //m_szBuffer = reinterpret_cast<CEdit *>(GetDlgItem(IDC_DISPLAY));
 m_szBuffer->SetWindowText(szTemp);

Still the same problem. There's no problem in displaying the data but when we scroll down, the values are not getting updated / repainted. They are getting overwritten.
What should I do?
