IDWriteTextAnalysisSource::GetTextBeforePosition method (dwrite.h)
Gets a block of text immediately preceding the specified position.
Syntax
HRESULT GetTextBeforePosition(
UINT32 textPosition,
[out] WCHAR const **textString,
[out] UINT32 *textLength
);
Parameters
textPosition
Type: UINT32
The position immediately after the last position of the block of text to obtain.
[out] textString
Type: const WCHAR**
When this method returns, contains an address of a pointer to the block of text, as an array of characters from the specified range. The text range will be from textPosition to the front of the block.
[out] textLength
Type: UINT32*
Number of UTF16 units of the retrieved block. The length returned is from the specified position to the front of the block.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
Remarks
NULL indicates no chunk available at the specified position, either because textPosition equals 0, textPosition is greater than the entire text content length, or the queried position is not mapped into the application's backing store.
Although applications can implement sparse textual content that maps only part of the backing store, the application must map any text that is in the range passed to any analysis functions.
