Extended Edit Controls

[MattyD]

Hi all,

This one is on the back of the zoomable edit boxes we were playing with a little while back. Just a couple of extra edit control funcs if its helpful to anyone

Clipboard messages.. (WM_CUT etc.)
 _GuiCtrlEdit_Clear - removes selected text.
 _GuiCtrlEdit_Copy
 _GuiCtrlEdit_Cut
 _GuiCtrlEdit_Paste

End of line funcs.. (EM_SETENDOFLINE, "Allowed" EOL chars, autodetect, etc.)
 _GuiCtrlEdit_GetEOL
 _GuiCtrlEdit_GetEOLEx
 _GuiCtrlEdit_SetEOL
 _GuiCtrlEdit_SetEOLEx
 
Zoom funcs.. (EM_SETZOOM etc.)
 _GuiCtrlEdit_GetIsZoomable
 _GuiCtrlEdit_GetZoom
 _GuiCtrlEdit_SetIsZoomable
 _GuiCtrlEdit_SetZoom

...this works everywhere (Win7+) in x64 and x86 ( haven't test it but just reading the code ). So this could be included in the GuiEdit.au3 UDF just as is ?
If so, could you gather the extra wording needed for the help file for each function ?

Yeah, I think you could just drop them in.  But someone should probably peer-review it first (more around the EOL implementation).

The function headers are all populated - so there's some documentation in there. If that's not sufficient, sure - I can expand on it, or write it up in a different format. 

It looks like the clipboard messages are supported from Win 2000. 

The other features are less clear, and the doco changes depending on which page you're looking at. I suspect some of this has its roots in the richedit control, and its been bolted on to the editbox at a later stage - hence the disconnect.  I'll test things out on my win7 box tonight or tomorrow...   

And both x86 & x64 work fine.

Ok, I've picked up a few errors in my documentation, so don't take that as gospel for now...

on Windows 7,  Both _GuiCtrlEdit_GetZoom and _GuiCtrlEdit_SetZoom work happily for Rich Edit controls,  but not on normal edit controls.

The IsZoomable funcs aren't for rich edits, and the same goes for the EOL stuff. From what I understand, these all spring up in Windows 10, 1809 for the normal edit box..  And that's obviously when GetZoom/SetZoom starts to effect normal edits too.

I've just updated attachment.

Its mainly documentation fixes, but I've also fixed an issue where SetEOLEx was failing out. 

Also a minor tweak to SetEOL around its return value.

@MattyD Your new functions have (once again) inspired me to start a new project:
