I have written a small application in VB6 -- a kind of special purpose text
editor. There seem to be many annoying glitches in VB's rich text box
control, however. Performance on larger files has suffered as a result of
various work-arounds I have had to use. And there some very annoying,
nonstandard "features." Are there any C++ alternatives I could use?

I don't use VB, but having used the win32 API, I wouldn't be surprised
to learn that the glitches are problems with the underlying API, not
with VB.
There are alternatives. However, if you want to stick with microsoft,
you should post to a microsoft group; if you are willing to consider
any C++ user interface system, there are several, but this is still
not an appropriate group since the C++ standard library contains no
GUI facilities.

I posted a similar question in a VB group and got no replies.

How depressing!
What C++ user interface systems then are to be recommended on the basis of
reliabillity and easy of use for my type of application?

- You haven't really described your 'type' of application.
- You'll need to decide for yourself whether a particular library is 'easy
to use'.
- Most library suppliers provide mailing lists, testimonials, etc. where one
can discover the opinions of others about things like reliablity, etc.
IMO a good place to start would be Nikki Locke's
"Available C++ Libraries FAQ": http://www.trumphurst.com/cpplibs/cpplibs.phtml
(link lifted from the the C++ FAQ, http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit....html#faq-36.9 )

I have written a small terminal app that reads and writes to the serial port. In particular as the data is read from the serial port it is appended to the rich text box. The problem I am experiencing is this:
When CrLf is received in the same read and appended to the rich text box, it processes it by moving to the beginning of the next line. This is right.
When Cr is received at the end of one read it is appended to the rich text box....

hi,
my app has two parallel rich text boxes containing the same content in 2
different languages. the lines parallel each other, line #3 in english
contains the same content as line #3 in french.
i need the two boxes to syncronize, if someone scrolls and clicks on line 23
in the english side, it should scroll to line 23 in the french side, and the
same from french to english.

I need to implement a rich text box in an MDB file for a user base that

Thus, I'm left with 3 options:

Just found out something interesting with Access 2007... In table design, if
you set a memo field to the new rich text option, and put that control on a
form, set the control to rich text, you can only use the text formatting
menus IF the control is on a parent form! If the control is placed on a form
that is a subform, the mini format toolbar, and the access toolbar will not
work!
However, if you place the control on a self-contained...

I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was
true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I
have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above.
But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
