PRB: Documented EM_SETWORDBREAK Message Does Nothing

3.00 WINDOWS

Summary: Page 6-29 of the “Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 1” version 3.0 documents the EM_SETWORDBREAK message for multiline edit controls. This message is designed to specify an application-supplied word-break function. This function is called by a multiline edit control when the edit control contents will not fit on a single line. The function supplies the point at which Windows should break the line. However, this message has no effect on Windows version 3.00 edit controls. Windows will always use its default word-break procedure, which breaks a line at a blank character.
