what the hell else would you use? The RichTextBox control IS the RichEdit control.

If you''re using VB, you''re using OCX''s, which are in all technical aspects identical to DLL''s.

NO! OCX''es are NOT like dll''s. Alteest not the dll''s provided with windows. Ever heard of API''s???

The richtextbox ocx is just a wrapper for the riched10.dll! and since i dont want aditional files (OCX''es) along with my exe, i want to create my own wrapper... Too hard to understand?
Thank You!

then download platform sdk, import init and window creation/management functions from kernel/user/richedit dlls, and call them.
