EM_SETCHARFORMAT Overview  Group

The EM_SETCHARFORMAT message sets character formatting in a rich edit control.

EM_SETCHARFORMAT 

wParam = (WPARAM) (UINT) uFlags; 

lParam = (LPARAM) (CHARFORMAT FAR *) lpFmt; 

 

Parameters

uFlags

Character formatting that applies to the control. If this parameter is zero, the default character format is set. Otherwise, it can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
SCF_ALL	Applies the formatting to all text in the control.
SCF_SELECTION	Applies the formatting to the current selection. If the selection is empty, the character formatting is applied to the insertion point, and the new character format is in effect only until the insertion point changes.
SCF_WORD | SCF_SELECTION	Applies the formatting to the selected word or words. If the selection is empty but the insertion point is inside a word, the formatting is applied to the word. The SCF_WORD value must be used in conjunction with the SCF_SELECTION value.

lpFmt

Pointer to a CHARFORMAT structure specifying the character formatting to use. Only the formatting attributes specified by the dwMask member are changed.

Return Values

Returns a nonzero value if successful or zero otherwise.
