CEdit::FmtLines

Call this function to set the inclusion of soft line-break characters on or off within a multiple-line edit control.

BOOL FmtLines(
   BOOL bAddEOL 
);

Parameters

  • bAddEOL
    Specifies whether soft line-break characters are to be inserted. A value of TRUE inserts the characters; a value of FALSE removes them.

Return Value

Nonzero if any formatting occurs; otherwise 0.

Remarks

A soft line break consists of two carriage returns and a linefeed inserted at the end of a line that is broken because of word wrapping. A hard line break consists of one carriage return and a linefeed. Lines that end with a hard line break are not affected by FmtLines.

Windows will only respond if the CEdit object is a multiple-line edit control.

FmtLines only affects the buffer returned by GetHandle and the text returned by WM_GETTEXT. It has no impact on the display of the text within the edit control.

For more information, see EM_FMTLINES in the Windows SDK.

Example

CString strText;

// Add soft line-break breaks.
m_myEdit.FmtLines(TRUE);

// Dump the text of the edit control.
m_myEdit.GetWindowText(strText);
AFXDUMP(strText);

// Remove soft line-break breaks.
m_myEdit.FmtLines(FALSE);
