WordParseGetSpaceSize Function

Overview

The WordParseGetPosition function returns the size of the leading space preceding the last word retrieved from a Word Parse Object with the WordParseGetWord function.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = WordParseGetSpaceSize ( handle hWordParse );

Parameters

hWordParse

A handle to a valid Word Parse Object.

Return Value

Returns an int containing the number of the leading spaces preceding the last retrieved word or -1 on failure if the buffer has not been specified using the WordParseCreate or WordParseSetData functions. If the hWordParse parameter is invalid, the function will return ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

Remarks

The WordParseGetSpaceSize function will count any number and combination of white or word spaces up to 256 characters as the leading space. The function will only return the number of leading spaces for the last word as retrieved by the WordParseGetWord function. It is not possible to retrieve the number of leading spaces of any other word in the buffer without first adjusting the position of the WordParseGetWord function with the WordParseSetPosition function.
