VB wordpad for PHP

[strawberrygrrl]

my task: to design a wordprocessing program for php code in VB. the only part i'm having trouble with is having a function that counts the lines in the text box. any ideas how i could do this?

Count the number of vbCrLf in the text box. Or better yet, split on vbCrLf and get the UBound of the array returned.

1) This isn't a PHP question

2) If there's a wordwrap feature, then counting vbCrLf's wont work

i think it would work with a wordwrap, because if one line goes onto the next, i dont theres a hard newline at the end


it doesnt matter if this isnt a php question, just answer it and tell them to post in the right forum next time :rolleyes:

1) No, it will not work with wordwrap. It will give you the number of actual lines, but not the number of visual lines.

2) If it doesn't matter that it's not a PHP question, then why tell them to post in the right forum? :rolleyes:

Using API:


Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" _
Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As _
Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

Private Const EM_GETLINECOUNT = &HBA

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox SendMessage(Text1.hwnd, EM_GETLINECOUNT, 0&, 0&)
End Sub


Will retrieve the number of lines in the textbox, not dependant on vbCrLf's.

[i]the number of actual lines, but not the number of visual lines.

2) If it doesn't matter that it's not a PHP question, then why tell them to post in the right forum? :rolleyes:

so then next time they will post them in the right forum instead of here..
