Syntax
EM_FMTLINES wParam = (WPARAM)(BOOL) fAddEOL; lParam = 0;
Parameters

Remarks
This message affects only the buffer returned by the EM_GETHANDLE message and the text returned by the WM_GETTEXT message. It has no effect on the display of the text within the edit control.
The EM_FMTLINES message does not affect a line that ends with a hard line break. A hard line break consists of one carriage return and a linefeed.
Note that the size of the text changes when this message is processed.
