Return Values

The return value specifies the address of the application-defined word wrap function. The return value is NULL if no word wrap function exists.

Remarks

A word wrap function scans a text buffer that contains text to be sent to the display, looking for the first word that does not fit on the current display line. The word wrap function places this word at the beginning of the next line on the display. A word wrap function defines the point at which the system should break a line of text for multiline edit controls, usually at a space character that separates two words.
