Preventing a RichTextBox operation from being added to the control's Undo stack

Question

Editing a RichTextBox control's text (more specifically, modifying selection font/color) programmatically seems to be tracked in the control's built in undo stack. Is there a way, short of writing my own undo/redo "manager", to prevent certain actions/operations from being added to the undo stack ?

Answer 1

No cando. At best you can flush the undo stack completely by sending EM_SETUNDOLIMIT twice. EM_SETTEXTEX offers the same option with the ST_DEFAULT flag. Surely not what you want. Look at ScintillaNET for a real editor.
