CRichEditCtrl::LineLength

Retrieves the length of a line in a rich edit control.

int LineLength(
   int nLine = -1 
) const;

Parameters

  • nLine
    Specifies the character index of a character in the line whose length is to be retrieved. If this parameter is –1, the length of the current line (the line that contains the caret) is returned, not including the length of any selected text within the line. When LineLength is called for a single-line edit control, this parameter is ignored.

Return Value

When LineLength is called for a multiple-line edit control, the return value is the length (in bytes) of the line specified by nLine. When LineLength is called for a single-line edit control, the return value is the length (in bytes) of the text in the edit control.

Remarks

Use the LineIndex member function to retrieve a character index for a given line number within this CRichEditCtrl object.

For more information, see EM_LINELENGTH in the Windows SDK.
