I'm making a Notepad clone. Right now my text loads fine but where their are newline characters, they do not make newlines in the text field.

I load it like this:

void LoadText(HWND ctrl,HWND parent)
{

    int leng;
    char buf[330000];

    char FileBuffer[500];
    memset(FileBuffer,0,500);

    FileBuffer[0] = '*';
    FileBuffer[1] = '.';
    FileBuffer[2] = 't';
    FileBuffer[3] = 'x';
    FileBuffer[4] = 't';

    OPENFILENAMEA ofn;
    memset(&ofn, 0, sizeof(OPENFILENAMEA));
    ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAMEA);
    ofn.hwndOwner = parent;
    ofn.lpstrFile = FileBuffer;
    ofn.nMaxFile = 500;
    ofn.lpstrFilter = "Filetype (*.txt)\0\0";
    ofn.lpstrDefExt = "txt";
    ofn.Flags = OFN_EXPLORER;

    if(!GetOpenFileNameA(&ofn))
    {
        return;
    }
    ifstream *file;
    file = new ifstream(FileBuffer,ios::in);

    int lenn;
    lenn = 0;

    while (!file->eof())
    {

        buf[lenn] = file->get();
        lenn += 1;

    }
    buf[lenn - 1] = 0;

    file->read(buf,lenn);
    SetWindowTextA(ctrl,buf);
    file->close();
}

How can I make it do the new line characters?

Thanks
