There''s two ways to do this. The first is to draw all the text yourself on your window''s client area. Slow and a lot of work. The other is to use the Rich Edit control. Look it up in the MSDN docs. It does require a bit of work, but the control takes care of a lot for you.

Look up the Scintilla windows control.
