Rich Edit Control Styles

The following window styles are unique to rich edit controls:

Style
Description
ES_DISABLENOSCROLL
Disables scrollbars instead of hiding them when they are not needed.
ES_EX_NOCALLOLEINIT
Prevents the control from calling the OleInitialize function when created. Useful only in dialog templates because CreateWindowEx does not accept this style.
ES_NOIME
Disables the input method editor (IME) operation. Available for Asian-languages only.
ES_SAVESEL
Preserves the selection when the control loses the focus. By default, the entire contents of the control are selected when it regains the focus.
ES_SELFIME
Directs the rich edit control to allow the application to handle all IME operations. Available for Asian-languages only.
ES_SUNKEN
Displays the control with a sunken border style so that the rich edit control appears recessed into its parent window. Applications developed for Windows 95 should use WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE instead of ES_SUNKEN.
ES_VERTICAL
Draws text and objects in a vertical direction. Available for Asian-languages only.

Rich edit controls also support the following edit control styles. To allow more than one line of text, you must specify the ES_MULTILINE style.

ES_AUTOHSCROLL
ES_NOHIDESEL
ES_AUTOVSCROLL
ES_READONLY
ES_CENTER
ES_RIGHT
ES_LEFT
ES_WANTRETURN
ES_MULTILINE
