Question

HWND hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "EDIT", "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | ES_READONLY | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL, 0, 0, width, height, hWnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAINEDIT, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);

Well, that’s how I create an (readonly) edit (textbox) control.
How can I create a RichEdit control? I mean, what’s the richedit’s class name?

I want to use richedit because it has CatText or something like that so I can append text to it, instead of copying it’s text – reallocating it and adds appending and finally set the edit’s text (I could do in that way, but it’s awkward way).
