Gets the number of characters in a wordwrapped multiline text widget
int sm_ww_length(int field_number);int sm_n_ww_length(char *field_name);
field_number, field_name- Specifies the field whose length is required. Word wrapped text is allowed only in multiline text widgets whose
word_wrapproperty is set toPV_YES.
0 The number of bytes in the specified field, excluding the null terminator.
sm_ww_lengthreturns the number of bytes in a word wrap field—that is, a multiline text widget whose Word Wrap property is set to Yes. You can call this function to get the offset into the end of word wrap field data, then use that offset to append data to the field with sm_ww_write. You can also use it to determine how large a buffer you need to allocate for reading word wrap field data with sm_ww_read.
/* this JPL procedure reads text from a filestream and
* reads each line into a word wrapped field. It uses
* sm_ww_write to reformat the file text so that it
* wraps within the field.
