Hello all,

I am developing an application (using Borland C++) in which I need a
window which contains text (read only) and this text may contain
multiple highlighted selections.  Can this be done simply
with the Windows API or does this need complex text manipulation
and display code to be written?

More generally, how do you get a text window in which you can
display (and/or edit) text which is not all in the same style
(e.g. different fonts/sizes/colours etc)?  Are there third party
libraries (preferably with source) which provide this kind
of functionality?

Many thanks in advance
Dave McNally
