I have just achieved creating a window, loading a text file and printing it on the main window. Scrollbars are there but don't work yet. You could just use the standard Edit control for that. If you really want to do it manually, which I have done, it's less than ~300 lines of code for the whole app (including working scrollbars). The binary is less than 4k. but I never realized that showing strings on Windows is such a PIA. Are ExtTextOut and related functions all that hard to use? How much simpler do you think it could be?
