RichEdit

This control enables you to create a richedit. The richedit interprets the mIRC control codes to display the colors and bold/underline effects. The richedit control loads it's internal Color Palette as the actual mIRC colors as default behavior. You can modify the colors using the /xdid commands.

The Color Palette is the richedit's internal color list of 16 values used to process mIRC color codes and convert them to disaplyed colors.

autohs	Text scrolling is automatically scrolled horizontally without need of a horizontal scrollbar.
autovs	Text scrolling is automatically scrolled vertically without need of a vertical scrollbar.
center	Text is centered.
hsbar	Displays a horizontal scrollbar.
multi	Enables a multiline richedit.
readonly	Text cannot be edited manually.
right	Text is right justified.
