Certain operations will simply not be done for windowless richedit
controls, such as WM_PAINT which isn't done for windowless richedit
controls since ITextServices provides a TxDraw method.
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).
A common case for richedit controls are that a large amount of text is
set initially with word wrap enabled. This causes the initially
wrapping of the text, which also calculates the text length. After
this the vertical scrollbar will be shown, which causes the text to be
rewrapped again. After this there are two redundant rewraps that are
done which this patch eliminates.
When the text is wrapped, the positions for all the runs, paragraphs,
and cells are already calculated and stored. The only thing left to do
for painting is to offset them by the formatting rectangle and the
scroll position.
During wrapping there were three different heights that were being
stored, with only one of them being done correctly. The other ones
failed to incorporate the height of the paragraph or row, so ended up
being incorrect.
The formatting rectangle is set with EM_SETRECT, and retrieved with
EM_GETRECT, so it corresponds to rcFormat in the code. This defines the
area that the richedit control should draw the text so that it is
offset by the top-left corner of the formatting rectangle, and clipped
so that it doesn't draw past the bottom or right hand side. Thus this
is important for implementing windowless richedit controls to not
interfere with the rest of the window.
In version 1.0 of the richedit controls highlighting is done by
inverting the colours. Version 2.0 and up highlight instead draw
the text using system colours for the background and the text.
