long GetSelText( 
   LPSTR lpBuf  
) const;

Parameters

  • lpBuf

Return Value

Depends on the form:

  • GetSelText( lpBuf )   The number of characters copied into lpBuf, not including the null termination.

  • GetSelText( )   The string containing the current selection.

Remarks

If you use the first form, GetSelText( lpBuf ), you must ensure that the buffer is large enough for the text it will receive. Call GetSel to determine the number of characters in the current selection.
