Paul,
If I understand what you want :)
do {
How many chars will be visible on this line? (FontCharsWidth)
Subtract chars that fit on this line from text string chars (move ptr)
until run out of Form screen area or run out of text.
} while (not at end of text)

Subject: a Memo Pad [or text field] question
Dear Fellow Palm Programmers:
Here is a challenging question. I would prefer a solution using the
published
SDK w/o using private functions in Field.c. I could [did] solve the problem
with Field.c but that is risky [and complicated] since Field.c may change in
future OSs.
For simplicity, let's talk about Memo Pad. I define a ScreenLine as the
collection of characters which show up as one line on the screen. Of course,
this depends on the display font.
Is there a way to determine how many ScreenLines will a given record take
up?
Is there a way to determine the insertion point position of the beginning
of the 25th ScreenLines from the current insertion point [without moving
there]?
Thanks!
