Hi,

The following code creates a richedit control and fills it with some lines of text.
When the left mouse button is clicked in the control the main window text should be set to the 0 based text line number of the click.

It crashes on the SendMessage -> EM_CHARFROMPOS Confused
I have tried setting the handle for the message as the edit control, as I assume is correct, it crashes. I have tried setting the handle for the message as the main window; it crashes.

I have also found that the FASM user32.inc for EM_CHARFROMPOS=0x00D7 in accordance with the SDK WinUser.h...
but...
the SDK RichEdit.h has EM_CHARFROMPOS defined as WM_USER+39 which translates to 0x0427

I tried sending the message with this WM_USER+39 value. When I use the handle of the main window it doesn't crash but always returns 0, no matter what position is clicked. Again, using the edit control's handle the app crashes.

A search here for EM_CHARFROMPOS gives no results so any help would be greatly appreciated Smile

OK,

EM_CHARFROMPOS expects the lparam to be a pointer to a POINT structure. When I altered this in the above code then none of my four alternatives crashes Smile

Using the main windows handle returns 0 so isn't correct, as I assumed.
Using the edit controls handle with the above I get a partial result.

According to the WinAPI.hlp

when EM_CHARFROMPOS returns...

Quote:

The return value specifies the character index in the low-order word and the line index in the high-order word


but all I am getting is a character count with no line count;
i.e

If I click between the 1st line's e & x (of text) I get Line 0 Char 12
If I click between the 2nd line's e & x I get Line 0 Char 41

I have attached the amended code which now doesn't crash in case someone can help Confused

btw, It appears that whether I use EM_CHARFROMPOS (0x00D7) or WM_USER+39 (0x0427) makes absolutely no difference Question

thx

Got a workaround but still can't figure what I'm doing wrong with EM_CHARFROMPOS Confused

Workaround...

Code:
.
.
invoke  SendMessage, [editHnd], EM_CHARFROMPOS, 0, pt
invoke  SendMessage, [editHnd], EM_LINEFROMCHAR, eax, 0
.
.
    


returns the 0 based line number Very Happy
