This is a basic question.

I want a form with just an RTF control and the controls above it for font selection, size, color and characteristics.

I see the RTF example in the VFP sample application. I don't know how to make a form with just these items - whatever I tried it always refers back to the sample vcx, which contains lots of other stuff.

Can someone give me a simple step-by-step, or email me with the form?

One other thing - in the sample application, when you select a word and then apply say Bold, it removes the selection indicator. But if you then choose say Italic it acts upon the same selection as before. Can one have the words previously selected again show as selected after applying the Bold, etc.?
