Hi

I have read this: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=838010 and
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;838010#appliesto

Other than creating a container control, has Microsoft not created a risk
free Rich Textbox control that can be used with Office XP and 2003, and IE
6?

Thanks

Try this one... freeware w/source

RichEdit Control
"A RichEdit control implemented with VB using the riched20.dll that supports
objects and pictures"

Hi

Thanks for the reply. So, does that mean MS doesn't have a Rich Textbox
control released with Office XP/2003 that is compatible with previous
version of Office that have the security features resolved?

In other words, the only way to use a rich text box in any Office
application/version if Office XP/2003 or IE 6 is installed is to use this
freeware control or to do the container control thing mentioned below?

Thanks

Hi,

Why post this to the MS project VBA newsgroup? I can see no relationship at
all.

Being about Office and IE 6, it doesn't really belong in the VB groups
either, huh?

Another abuse of crossposting....

At least it wasn't multiposted.

VB6 was released in 1998. No new MS controls for VB have been released
since. They've been patched/etc but nothing new. If your new wizbang app
requires wizbang controls, you'll have to get them elsewhere.
