RichEdit subclassing problem, can't call Default Proc.

Oct 11th, 2008

Hi,

I know how to subclass a RichEdit, and the messages I handle in my procedure work, but I want to know how to call the default procedure that would proccess a non-subclassed RichEdit Control. My problem is that when I subclass it, I want the default Procedure to take care of what my procedure doesn't.

I only handle a context menu and the commands from it, but, I can't use the defaut procedure because I don't know it's name. The RichEdit (RichEdit 3.0) is not doing anything because I can't call the procedure that handles the functionality because I haven't a clue to it's name. The RichEdit doesn't scroll, accept characters, paste, undo, or anything that the default RichEdit procedure should do. How can I go about calling the default procedure?

This is what I have (Not the exact code, just what needs to be seen):
