Ginge, are u still using the original CHARFORMAT structure? Try using the extended CHARFORMAT2 structure. U are probably using 2.0 anyway :-).

CHARFORMAT2 (MSDN)

The CHARFORMAT2 structure contains information about character formatting in a rich edit control. CHARFORMAT2 is a Rich Edit 2.0 extension of the CHARFORMAT structure. Rich Edit 2.0 allows you to use either structure with the EM_GETCHARFORMAT and EM_SETCHARFORMAT messages.

typedef struct _charformat2 {
  UINT        cbSize;
  DWORD       dwMask;
  DWORD       dwEffects;
  LONG        yHeight;
  LONG        yOffset;
  COLORREF    crTextColor;
  BYTE        bCharSet;
  BYTE        bPitchAndFamily;
  WCHAR       szFaceName(LF_FACESIZE);
  WORD        wWeight;
  SHORT       sSpacing;
  COLORREF    crBackColor;    // Background color : -)
  LCID        lcid;
  DWORD       dwReserved;
  SHORT       sStyle;
  WORD        wKerning;
  BYTE        bUnderlineType;
  BYTE        bAnimation;
  BYTE        bRevAuthor;
  BYTE        bReserved1;
} CHARFORMAT2;


Hope this helps!

Thanks [white] shark, I'll look into that. Sadly its not quite as easy because I'm doing it through VB, which doesn't let me access it directly, but that may still get it.

That actually looks very good, but until I get the proper installer technology into BetterMSN I can't distribute additional DLL's without breaking it. Anyway, it seems to be open source, so I should be able to steal what I need from it :)

I will add all those tools to my web site (links of software itself, you decide). Of course, this is when the web site will be back :)

I prefer if people link to the download page rather than host it themselves, so I can release new versions without having to tell loads of people. Of course when I finish my autoupdating its not such a big deal, but that is taking quite a while...
