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

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?

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.

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