PRWIN9012018: Single-Line Edit Controls and Fonts

ID Number: Q67739

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9012018

SYMPTOMS

When using a single-line edit control with a font larger than the

system default font, deleting characters with the backspace key

causes painting problems. Specifically, the lower half of a deleted

character is not removed from the screen.

RESOLUTION

This problem can be avoided by using a multiline edit control sized

to hold only one line. NOTE: Do not specify the ES_AUTOVSCROLL

style, or the multiline edit control will accept more than one line

of text.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version

3.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information

here as it becomes available.
