    Resolved [RESOLVED] Notepad Application

    I'm working on a VB6 project which among many things needs a textbox that has Notepad capabilities.

    Anyone have such a Form with code?

    I originally started out by embedding Notepad into the project which was easy enough but then I found that communicating with Notepad was a problem. I tried SendKeys with no go there (totally undependable) then I tried using the handle of Notepad but found that wouldn't do much good as I needed to actually control Notepad's menu bar items which I have no idea how to do that. Ok, so I figured just make the app using a textbox instead but now I don't have the functionalities of Notepad.
