You want $ES_WANTRETURN style also.

Thanks, but when I click on word wrap menu, word wrap will not apply to previously typed lines.

#include <EditConstants.au3>

;~ $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 640, 445,$ES_MULTILINE,$ES_WANTRETURN)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 640, 445)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT+$GUI_DOCKRIGHT+$GUI_DOCKTOP+$GUI_DOCKBOTTOM)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1332432121121313"&@CRLF&"lol")
GUICtrlSetCursor (-1, 5)
$Format = GUICtrlCreateMenu("F&ormat")
$wordwrap = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Word Wrap...", $Format)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $wordwrap
            GUICtrlSetStyle ( $Edit1, $ES_MULTILINE+$ES_WANTRETURN)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I have had the same problem. I concluded that once an edit is created you cannot change its word wrap style, so I did something like this

#include <EditConstants.au3>
  #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
  #include <StaticConstants.au3>
  #include <WindowsConstants.au3>
  #Include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
  
  $Form1 = GUICreate("Untitled - Notepad", 640, 480, 212, 164,0x14CF0000,0x00000110)
  GUISetIcon("C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE")
;~ $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 640, 445,$ES_MULTILINE,$ES_WANTRETURN)
  $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 640, 445)
  GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT+$GUI_DOCKRIGHT+$GUI_DOCKTOP+$GUI_DOCKBOTTOM)
  GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1332432121121313"&@CRLF&"lol")
  GUICtrlSetCursor (-1, 5)
  $Format = GUICtrlCreateMenu("F&ormat")
  $wordwrap = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Word Wrap...", $Format)
  GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
  While 1
      $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
      Switch $nMsg
          Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
              Exit
          Case $wordwrap
               $text = GUICtrlRead($Edit1)
            GUICtrlDelete($Edit1)
            $Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit($Text, 0, 0, 640, 445,BitOR($ES_MULTILINE,$ES_WANTRETURN))
      EndSwitch
  WEnd

Edit:Corrected error. GuiCtrlDelete($Edit1) was GuiDelete($Edit1), and simplified a bit.

I thought about It, and had question: what if user had resized GUI previously?

I need edit control width = guiWidth and edit height = GUIHeight - 15

Use....

WinGetPos ( "title" [, "text"] )

Parameters

title The title of the window to read. See Title special definition.

text [optional] The text of the window to read.

Return Value

Success: Returns a 4-element array containing the following information:

$array[0] = X position

$array[1] = Y position

$array[2] = Width

$array[3] = Height

As Valuater says, or you could just use ControlGetPos and use the values returned directly in the GuiCtrlCreateEdit

;~ $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 640, 445,$ES_MULTILINE,$ES_WANTRETURN)

  GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT+$GUI_DOCKRIGHT+$GUI_DOCKTOP+$GUI_DOCKBOTTOM)

               $text = GUICtrlRead($Edit1)
               $ep = ControlGetPos($Form1,"",$Edit1)
            GUICtrlDelete($Edit1)
            $Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit($Text,$ep[0],$ep[1],$ep[2],$ep[3],BitOR($ES_MULTILINE,$ES_WANTRETURN))
