In the MSDN, it is stated that if nCount is 1, then it is assumed that lpString is a null-terminated string. But in the DrawTextExA function, it is -1, as in the code: if (count == -1) count = strlen(str); Shouldn't this be 1 instead of -1? CMIIW. (But theForger's tutorial also uses -1) _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
Is there a way you can add a test case for this to wine's test suite? That would be the easiest way to find an answer. Sometimes msdn is wrong, but a test will find out. On Tue, 19 Oct 2004 09:39:10 -0700 (PDT), William Poetra Yoga H <williampoetra(a)yahoo.com> wrote:

Not in the MSDN CDs of January 2002; it is -1 there.

Oh, maybe the msdn on msdn.microsoft.com is a little older? Is it like an archive or something? _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
