Building and Running the Sample

To build and run the WORDPAD sample

1. Open the solution wordpad.sln.

2. On the Build menu, click Build.

3. Run WordPad as a stand-alone application so it can register itself with the system.

WORDPAD Features

The SUPERPAD sample illustrates a basic word processor based on the CEditView class. In contrast, WORDPAD is based on the CRichEditView, CRichEditDoc, and CRichEditCntrItem classes, and — besides supporting the features that SUPERPAD supports — also demonstrates the following features.

• The ability to read, write, and convert between multiple file formats, including the Word file format, .rtf (Rich Text Format) format, and ASCII text format.

• Text formatting, including the use of fonts, character formatting (bold, italics, underlining), color, and point sizes. These attributes are available in a formatting toolbar.

• Per-paragraph formatting, including alignment (left, center, or right), tabs, margins, and first-line indentation. These attributes are also available in a ruler toolbar.

• Undo support.

• ActiveX component support, both container and server.
