EM_GETPARAFORMAT

The EM_GETPARAFORMAT message retrieves the paragraph formatting of the current selection in a rich edit control.

EM_GETPARAFORMAT 
wParam = 0; 
lParam = (LPARAM) (PARAFORMAT FAR *) lpFmt; 
 

Parameters

lpFmt

Pointer to a PARAFORMAT structure that receives the paragraph formatting attributes of the current selection.

If more than one paragraph is selected, the structure receives the attributes of the first paragraph, 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 PARAFORMAT2 structure, which is an extension of the PARAFORMAT structure. Before sending the EM_GETPARAFORMAT 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 PARAFORMAT structure.
