SUMMARY

The Rich Edit control included with Windows 95 and Windows NT version 3.51 does not support Unicode.

For a Unicode application to use the Rich Edit control, it must convert any strings passed to the control to ASCII text. This includes strings used in the FINDTEXT structure and the TEXTRANGE structure.
