Also could I get your help on something Matthew if you have time ?
 
Im using the scintilla MFC wrappers found here : http://www.atari-soldiers.com/mfc_scintilla.zip , and Im having trouble getting the caret to show up ready for typing when I create new files, and also when DIDE loses focus, then regains it.  You have to click on the view to be able to edit.
 
I have tried scintillas methods of :
 
 
SetCurrentPos( )
SetSelectionStart( )
GrabFocus()
 
And also MFC's
 
SetActiveWindow()
SetFocus()
SetCaretPos()
 
I have tried these in an overrided CView::OnActivateView( ... ) function , a DisplayErrorFunction, OnInitalUpdate(), OnUpdate() etc... without any luck.
 
 
Here is a test program Im using http://www.atari-soldiers.com/ScintillaTest.zip so you can see it in action.
 
Im stuck on this , dont know what else to try :/.  Thanks for any help!
