DrawTextBoxA
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 DrawTextBox and string arguments are interpreted using the current SetAnsiMode code page
This function is similar to the DrawText function, but the text is placed within the bounding box specified. The vertical alignment can be set using the Options parameter, and the horizontal alignment can be set with the SetTextAlign function. The text will be word-wrapped to fit inside the bounding box.
