Hello everyone,

I am looking for information on implementing ITextHost to host a windowless RichText control within a winform. I have a specific need and reason for hosting the TextObjectModel instead of using a traditional textbox or richedit control.

Thanks!

ITextHost is strictly in the domain of unmanaged C/C++ code. Windows Forms does not support windowless controls.

I have implemented ITextHost and ITextServices as best I can figure.

Please see http://rafb.net/paste/results/KfqiX234.html for the complete code to this. It's a mess as I'm experiementing trying to get this to work, and im not paying attention to neatness ;)

When I call CreateTextServices such like...

   Dim thost As wre.ITextHost = New wre.MyTextHost(Me)
   Dim o As Object = Nothing
   wre.MainClass.CreateTextServices(Nothing, thost, o)

I recieve the following exception...

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' occurred in WindowsApplication1.exe"

To any onlookers, please feel free to use any of this code. If you do happen to get any of this working, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE reply and let us know how you managed to.

Thanks!

So?

what happened at the end? were you able to complete the task?
