I have a RichTextBox in which I'd like blanks to appear different from
nothing. Imagine a file which does not fill up the RTB. You can't tell how
many, if any, blanks might follow the last visible, i.e. non-whitespace,
character. I thought that I could set the BackColor of the RTB to LightGray
and then the blanks would show up as white. But instead the characters show
up on a LightGray background and the blanks, of course, show up as LightGray
spaces.
Is there a solution (which does not require a lot of graphics expertise and
code)?
Thanks, Bob

Put some text like "[End]" at the end?

Umm, why are you doing this?
If you are just wanting to get the user to clean up their extra blank
lines then just do it for them. A simple loop with a negitive step
through the lines property should allow you to trim off any blank
lines (not sure if calling Trim on the text will work or not).

I am trying to find a way to remove the leading and tailing blanks from
a string.
What I have come up with is not doing the work as I expected; because
if the value I pass to the function is " string " the leading and
trailing blanks are not removed. What am I doing wrong?
trimIt( std::string s ) {
size_t offset = s.length();
// Trim leading spaces ???
s.erase( 0, s.find_first_not_of( "\t\n" ) );

I searched high and low for an answer on how to auto scroll a
richtextbox and now I finally have it. Since it took me a while to
get a good efficient way of doing it that didn't require focus to the
control or the scrolltocaret method I decided that it would be worth
posting to anyone who might have similar concerns. For the record
this works well in an environment where you cannot have focus going to
the richtextbox....such as a chat...

Hi,
I use the RichTextBox in my program.
It will use different language in this RichTextBox (chinese and english
characters), and it set the "DualFont" and use different fonts.
By the way, how can I print out this content to printer easily?
Thanks!

The documentation for the RichTextBox is sketchy at best. I want to do a
very simple task but I cannot find information on this. I am using a
RichTextBox as an output window. Some text I want to just add plain (e.g..

different color or font size. Find() will not work because the text will
vary. I have delimiters on it so I could recognize it with a regular ...

I'm having trouble reading quotations inside the richTextBox when a file is opened on to it. I've tried a couple different methods, most of them didn't compile. I came across one that does compile and supposedly it's suppose to work but it doesn't in my case.
I tried this code to see if it would recognize the quotations. For testing purpose I wanted to see if it would start the string from the quotation.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
