A couple of PM Multi-line edit control questions

Post by Steven Gu » Fri, 07 May 1993 02:20:22



I need to have a couple of PM programming questions answered if possible:

1. How can I change the font in an edit control within a dialog box?  Sample code
would be idea, but any help would be appreciated.  I know I have to populate
the FATTR structure and send an MLM_SETFONT, but I have no idea what to
put in the structure in order to effect a font change.

2.  Why can I not have a multiline edit control with more than 32K bytes attached
to it?  All of the length parameters for text handling are type LONG, but anything
more than 32767 for a string length, results in nothing being read.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

An MLE can hold more than 32kb of data, but you can only import, insert,
or export it in chunks of 32767 bytes or less.  I don't know why this is
true, but I've coded around it numerous times.

I believe it has to do with Presentation Parameters.  (I think the API
is WinSetPresParam or something similar).  Get the hwnd of the control
(WinWindowFromID) and set it's pres parms.

1. Line wrap in Multi-line edit windows

OK, I give up.

What's the deal with line-wrap in MLE controls.  All I want to do is line
wrap to 80 columns in an MLE window.  Can this be done or what?

It seems that the line-wrap wraps to the window size rather than to a
specific column.  I can't believe that IBM would be this stupid - I'm
assuming there is a way to wrap at a specified column, but I just haven't
been able to find it.

If wrapping to a given column number is possible, could someone PLEASE post
or email some sample code to do it.
