Anyone know of a way to dynamically change Word Wrap on a Richedit Control without having to remove it and add it back.

I'm sure there is an API for it but I can't remember where I saw it.

Thanks in advance,

Aslan

ES_AUTOHSCROLL is the style that keeps an edit or richedit control from wrapping, but, good ol Microsoft didn't make it possible to dynamically change it.
So you can't just turn word-wrap on and off, without recreating the richedit control.

When turning word-wrap off, you'd need to add a horizontal scrollbar anyway, so unwrapped text can be scrolled, so you might as well recreate the control.

Another idea is to maintain two controls. One with Word wrapping enabled
and another with out word wrapping. Then you can simply hide and show
the appropriate control when necessary.
