The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Retrieving text format from a richedit

Asked by vosk in Windows Programming

Tags: em_getparaformat, richedit, format

Hello, I have problems working with EM_GETCHARFORMAT and EM_GETPARAFORMAT messages: seems like they don't do anything. I use a richedit which I modify with EM_SETCHARFORMAT and EM_SETPARAFORMAT, since here that's all right. But when I try to retrieve the formats for each character the masks and formats seems empty (or does not match with any of the the previously setted formats and does not match with any valid value for those formats). That's what I use to get the formats:

CHARRANGE chr;
PARAFORMAT pf;
CHARFORMAT cf;
int l=GetWindowTextLength(hEditor);
chr.cpMin=0;
chr.cpMax=1;
SetFocus(hEditor);
SendMessage(hEditor,EM_EXSETSEL,0,(LPARAM)&chr);
SendMessage(hEditor,EM_GETPARAFORMAT,0,(LPARAM)&pf);
SendMessage(hEditor,EM_GETCHARFORMAT,0,(LPARAM)&cf);

That should be right to retrieve the paraformat and charformat of the first character no? But using this the mask value (dwMask) returned in the PARAFORMAT and CHARFORMAT structs are both the same (2010562660), even if I set up a  PFM_ALIGNMENT on the paraformat and whatever charformatting style, the mask returned is the same. Also if the text isn't formatted the mask returned is exactly the same as before. I have tried it selecting the hole text using the text length or selecting from cpMin=0to cpMax=-1 (selects also all the text), but the same result.

Then , how can I get those paraformat and charformats?
Thank's in advance
