ITextRange2::GetCch method (tom.h)

Gets the count of characters in a range.

Syntax

HRESULT GetCch(
  [out, retval] long *pcch
);

Parameters

[out, retval] pcch

Type: long*

The signed count of characters.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If the method succeeds, it returns NOERROR. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The count of characters is the difference between the character position of the active end of the range, and the character position of the anchor end. Some Text Object Model (TOM) implementations might include active ends only for a selection (represented by the ITextSelection interface). The rich edit control's TOM implementation of a text range (represented by the ITextRange interface) also has active ends.
