EM_GETCHARFORMAT

The EM_GETCHARFORMAT message determines the current character formatting in a rich edit control.

EM_GETCHARFORMAT 
wParam = (WPARAM) (BOOL) fSelection; 
lParam = (LPARAM) (CHARFORMAT FAR *) lpFmt; 
 

Parameters

fSelection

Value specifying whether to get the default character formatting or the current selection's character formatting. If this parameter is zero, the default formatting is returned. Otherwise, the current selection's formatting is returned.

lpFmt

Pointer to a CHARFORMAT structure to fill in. If the selection formatting is being retrieved, the structure receives the attributes of the first character, and the dwMask member specifies which attributes are consistent throughout the entire selection.

Rich Edit 2.0 and later: This parameter can be a pointer to a CHARFORMAT2 structure, which is an extension of the CHARFORMAT structure. Before sending the EM_GETCHARFORMAT message, set the structure's cbSize member to indicate the version of the structure.

Return Values

Returns the value of the dwMask member of the CHARFORMAT structure.
