Retrieving Arabic characters using GetWindowText?

[yooper]

Another method I have tried is to use GetLine instead of GetWindowText, but I am unable to figure out how to get all of the lines from the RichEditCtrl into a single CString object. Here is the code I tried for that:

TCHAR tCharLine[4096];

CRichEditCtrl* myEditCtrl = GetEdit( CtrlDefiniitions::COMPOSITION_EDIT );

\\ This only gives me the first line from the RichEditCtrl, but I want all of the lines!
int nBytesCopied = myEditCtrl->GetLine(0, tCharLine, sizeof(tCharline)/sizeof(tCharLine[0]));

CString myString(tCharLine);

The 2nd code snippet gives me the proper character output but only gives me the first line from the RichEditCtrl . Any ideas/suggestions?

You have to use a loop and accumulate the lines one at a time. Here's what works for me:

    CString text = "";

    int lines = m_cEdit.GetLineCount();
    for ( int i = 0; i < lines; i++ )
    {
        CString strText = "";
        int inx = m_cEdit.LineIndex(i);
        int len = max(m_cEdit.LineLength(inx), 4);

        m_cEdit.GetLine(inx, strText.GetBufferSetLength(len + 1), len);
        strText.SetAt(len, _T('\0')); // null terminate
        strText.ReleaseBuffer();

        text += strText + _T("\n");
    }

    // "text" now contains all lines from the CRichEditCtrl.

Dear yooper,

are you sure the OP still needs some help in solving the problem he/she had more than seven years back?

Nothing wrong except it is not actual.
And you could just post the link to MSDN example rather than reinvent the wheel...
