GetInsertPosition

Calculates the closest valid caret location for insertion.

C

int SftMask_GetInsertPosition(HWND hwndCtl, int Pos, BOOL fGoingLeft);

C++

int CSftMask::GetInsertPosition(int Pos, BOOL fGoingLeft) const;

Parameters

hwndCtl

The window handle of the masked edit control.

Pos

The zero-based character position to start from.

fGoingLeft

TRUE to search towards the beginning, FALSE to search towards the end.

Returns

The return value is the closest character position where data can be entered.

Comments

Literal positions cannot accept input; GetInsertPosition skips them in the requested direction. This is useful for drop targets (see Drag & Drop).
