If the window does not have a caption, the return value is a null string. If the target window is owned by another process and has a caption, GetWindowText retrieves the window caption text. If the target window is owned by the current process, GetWindowText causes a WM_GETTEXT message to be sent to the specified window or control. This function cannot retrieve the text of an edit control in another application. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. If the window has no title bar or text, if the title bar is empty, or if the window or control handle is invalid, the return value is zero. If the function succeeds, the return value is the length, in characters, of the copied string, not including the terminating null character. If the text exceeds this limit, it is truncated. The maximum number of characters to copy to the buffer, including the null character. If the string is as long or longer than the buffer, the string is truncated and terminated with a null character. Syntax int GetWindowTextA(Ī handle to the window or control containing the text. However, GetWindowText cannot retrieve the text of a control in another application. If the specified window is a control, the text of the control is copied. Use ModifyText to change the value of the control such that Undo will undo the change ( SetText resets the Undo history).Copies the text of the specified window's title bar (if it has one) into a buffer.

Use SetText() and GetText() methods explicitly rather than GetWindowText and SetWindowText because Windows 95/98/ME place limits on text passing though WM_SETTEXT. Void CMarkupEditorView::OnPrint(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)Īt any given time, the text value is a simple string in the m_csText member. Int nMaxPage = m_edit.Print( pDC, 0, csTitle ) void CMarkupEditorView::OnBeginPrinting( CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo )ĬString csTitle = GetDocument()->GetPathName()

The following simple code can be used to support print and print preview in a CView where the CDataEdit control is m_edit. The Print method is used for printing a particular page and for paginating ( nPage=0).

This way, mixtures of UNIX and PC end of line styles do not cause concern. CRLF ( 0x0d 0x0a) pairs are considered to be a combined end of line code. When a document is loaded, the carriage return and linefeed characters are not modified to conform to any standard.

Put a CDataEdit member variable in a parent window class such as a dialog or view. Also you will likely need to add imm32.lib to your Project Settings -> Link -> General -> Object/Library modules due to Windows IME support. To use CDataEdit in your Visual Studio MFC project, just add DataEdit.cpp and DataEdit.h. The source code for CDataEdit comes in the firstobject XML Editor with the Advanced CMarkup Developer License. See CDataEdit specific notes in the firstobject XML Editor release notes. It provides editing of text in fixed or variable width fonts and supports undo/redo and printing. The CDataEdit class is a standalone MFC edit control derived directly from CWnd using a Unicode UTF-8 or UTF-16 text string that can be over a gigabyte.
