I don't think the XAML version includes a whole text editor UI for setting fonts/alignment/etc either, just some wrappers to simplify the API calls a bit.

I'm going to play around a little with windowless richedit... just see if I can get the bare minimum functionality working then go from there.
Looking forward to your new work. If Bill Gates is still the chairman. You will be the mvp best expert.
