DrawHTMLTextBoxA

Text, HTML text, Page layout

Description

The trailing A denotes the ANSI (char) DLL entry point; the ActiveX/COM surface exposes only the Unicode form. Behaviour is identical to DrawHTMLTextBox and string arguments are interpreted using the current SetAnsiMode code page

Similar to the DrawHTMLText function, but the text drawn is limited to a specific area. The remaining HTML text is returned, which can be passed to this function again (perhaps on a different page or location) until the function returns an empty string. See Appendix A for details of the supported HTML tags.
