ITextStoreACP2::GetText method (textstor.h)
Gets info about text at a specified character position. This method returns the visible and hidden text and indicates if embedded data is attached to the text.
Syntax
HRESULT GetText(
[in] LONG acpStart,
[in] LONG acpEnd,
[out] WCHAR *pchPlain,
[in] ULONG cchPlainReq,
[out] ULONG *pcchPlainRet,
[out] TS_RUNINFO *prgRunInfo,
[in] ULONG cRunInfoReq,
[out] ULONG *pcRunInfoRet,
[out] LONG *pacpNext
);
Parameters
[in] acpStart
Specifies the starting character position.
[in] acpEnd
Specifies the ending character position. If this parameter is -1, then return all text in the text store.
[out] pchPlain
Specifies the buffer to receive the plain text data. If this parameter is NULL, then the cchPlainReq parameter must be 0.
[in] cchPlainReq
Specifies the number of plain text characters passed to the method.
[out] pcchPlainRet
Receives the number of characters copied into the plain text buffer. This parameter cannot be NULL. Use a parameter if values are not required.
[out] prgRunInfo
Receives an array of TS_RUNINFO structures. May be NULL only if cRunInfoReq = 0.
[in] cRunInfoReq
Specifies the size, in characters, of the text run buffer.
[out] pcRunInfoRet
Receives the number of TS_RUNINFO structures written to the text run buffer. This parameter cannot be NULL.
[out] pacpNext
Receives the character position of the next unread character. Cannot be NULL.
Return value
This method can return one of these values.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method was successful. |
|
The acpStart or acpEnd parameters are outside of the document text. |
|
The caller does not have a read-only lock on the document. |
Remarks
Callers that use this method must have a read-only lock on the document by calling the RequestLock method. Without a read-only lock, the method fails and returns TF_E_NOLOCK.
Applications can also truncate the method return values for internal reasons. Callers should carefully examine the return characters and text run counts to get the required return values. If the return values are incomplete, repeatedly call the method until the return values are complete.
The caller can request plain text only by setting the cRunInfoReq parameter to 0 and the prgRunInfo parameter to NULL. The caller can request only text run data by setting the cchPlainReq parameter to 0 and the pchPlain parameter to NULL. However, the caller must still supply valid non-null values for pcchPlainRet, even if this parameter is not used.
If acpEnd is -1, then it should be handled as if set at the end of the stream. Otherwise, it will be greater than or equal to zero.
On exit, pacpNext should be set to the character position of the next character in the stream not referenced by the return values. A caller would use this to quickly scan text with multiple GetText calls.
