Plenty of places in the code find following or preceding runs, then
afterwards find the paragraph from the run. This is inefficient because
the same linked list is used for both runs and paragraphs, so changes in
paragraphs can be detected while returning the next or previous run.
Before a single length was used for the number of characters to retrieve
from the text, and to keep track of the size of the buffer. These are
not equivalent, since there is a possible end of line conversion.
This function will make it easier to work with ME_Cursor objects, which
should be used in a lot of places instead of character offsets (which
often require seeking through the linked lists to perform operations
with).
Since the table row start is inserted after the rest of the table is
inserted, the cursor is saved, and temporarily moved to the start of the
row to insert the table row start paragraph. Unfortunately the
paragraph in saved cursor becomes invalid during this insertion and
needs to be updated, so this code introduced a regression once
paragraphs started to be stored in cursors.
Style objects are referenced counted in richedit controls, so I tried to
make sure styles were released properly. This can be checked using with
the all_refs global reference count to see if everything is cleaned up.
This prevents some needless searching for the start of the paragraph
from a run stored in a cursor. Usually a pointer to the paragraph is
already available when the cursor is set anyway.
Previously a count of the carraige returns and line feeds were stored
for end of paragraph runs, and a paragraph sign was stored as the actual
string. This was causing many special cases where the length of the
run needed to be determined differently if the run was or wasn't an
end of paragraph run.
There wasn't any use for storing the paragraph sign unless some drawing
code gets commented out to allow the end paragraphs to be shown,
therefore I changed the code to store the actual string that gets
retrieved by WM_GETTEXT.
The methods in ITextHost are mostly thin wrappers around functions that
take a handle to a window as their first parameter. This patch just
uses the wrapper functions provided by ITextHost instead of using the
functions that require a handle to a window that the editor might now
have (for windowless richedit controls).
