Hi Everyone,

I would like to use the RichEditControl for a project where I have a
set amount of rows to display the content and set width as well.

I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to find out what line a
line of text is on (assuming the text is wrapped around and the user
has not pressed enter)?

So if I had a width of 200 pixels I would like to know how which
characters are on each line after they have been typed in... Due to
Kerning of the font being used I cannot just do a simple
calculation....

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance,

Mark

Use the Graphics.MeasureString method to measure the text. See:

Thanks Kevin,

I have used that in the past, for different applications.

Would you know by any chance how to set the tab size to be 45 pixels on
the same RichEditcontrol?

Regards

Mark

Tab size? AFAIK, the RichEditControl doesn't have any tabs. You *are*
talking about the MFC Windows API RichEditControl, right?
