Need help with Richtext (again)

[Lord Orwell]

Anyone have an example of the use of the EM_STREAMOUT (or even the EM_STREAMIN) richtext commands in vb?http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ps...hedit_6sl0.htm
The code samples are in c++ and c has never been my strong point. I don't trust my ability to properly convert the variables to the equivalent vb ones.

I guess this could be a start:

Add to a Module.

Type EDITSTREAM
    dwCookie As Long
    dwError As Long
    pfnCallBack As Long
End Type

Const WM_USER = &H400
Const EM_STREAMIN = (WM_USER + 73)
Const SF_TEXT = &H1
Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

Function EditStreamCallback(ByVal dwCookie As Long, ByVal pbBuff As Long, ByVal cb As Long, ByVal pcb As Long) As Long

End Function

Add to a Form

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    
    Dim ES As EDITSTREAM
    SendMessage RichTextBox1.hwnd, EM_STREAMIN, SF_TEXT, ES

End Sub

that is about as far as i got on my own. I dont understand what it passes to the function. It supposedly calls it multiple times for each use.

MEGATRON, i tried that exactly as you posted, and every time i tried it, vb crashed. I was trying to use it on richtextbox1 and it just didn't like it.
