CEdit::SetRectNP

Syntax

void SetRectNP( LPRECT lpRect );

Parameters

lpRect

Points to a RECT or CRect that specifies the new dimensions of the rectangle.<$Formatting rectangle;edit control@setting new dimension, CEdit::SetRectNP>

Remarks

Sets the formatting rectangle of a multiple-line edit control. The formatting rectangle is the limiting rectangle of the text, which is independent of the size of the edit-control window. When the edit control is first created, the formatting rectangle is the same as the client area of the edit-control window. By calling the SetRectNP member function, an application can make the formatting rectangle larger or smaller then the edit-control window.

If the edit control has no scroll bar, text will be clipped, not wrapped, if the formatting rectangle is made larger than the window.

SetRectNP is identical to the SetRect member function except that the edit-control window is not redrawn.

This member is only processed by multiple-line edit controls.
