Sure, but then you're writing a custom edit control, and not using the
standard control :)
I was explaining the problem, not saying it was impossible. Many programs
use a custom edit control. Anything that has syntax highlighting does.
Pretty much any text editor does, as this is the only sensible thing to do.
The best edit control I have seen is the one used in Borland's C++Builder
(and more than likely, Delphi). I wish they had a stand alone C++ editor,
as I find using the IDE just to edit text to be too bulky. So, I end up
doing most of my code editing on Unix using JOE.
