I am writing an educational application. I use a modeless dialog box to
display instructions to the student. The text I want to display may not
fit in the dialog box, so I thought I would use an edit control with a
vertical scroll bar. I find that when the text is displayed the cr/lf
characters are ignored and are displayed as black blocks.

I have examples of edit controls being used to display the contents of
files, so it seems to me that edit controls behave differently if they
are in a window as opposed to a dialog box. For example, I found the
style ES_WANTRETURN (or something like that) is required if you don't
want the default button activated when you press Enter in the dialog box.
I had to type this into the .DLG file as the option is not available
in the Dialog Editor.

Does anyone know of a way to make the edit control in a dialog box
display text correctly? Just because it is in a dialog box doesn't
mean I want to use it for input...
