Remarks

For the WORDEXT_FINDWORD value, "FINDWORD" refers any of the following:

• keyword

• identifier

• number

For the WORDEXT_FINDTOKEN value, "FINDTOKEN" refers to any of the following:

• keyword, identifier, or number

• operator (for example, ++ or %)

• delimiter (for example, quotation marks (") or comment marks (// or /))

• white space

Thus, by specifying a value of WORDEXT_FINDWORD, you return a word extent that corresponds to a keyword, a number, or an identifier. For example, if the text were "a[1]," the "a" or the "1" could be returned, but the whole expression would not be returned. However, if you specify a value of WORDEXT_FINDTOKEN, then you would return any keyword, number, or identifier, or you would return operators, delimiters, or white space. Thus, if the text were "a[1] ", any single character of the string could match, but any larger portion of the string would not.

   WORDEXT_PREVIOUS       = 0x0001,
   WORDEXT_NEXT           = 0x0002,
   WORDEXT_NEAREST        = 0x0003,
   WORDEXT_FINDWORD       = 0x0000,
   WORDEXT_FINDTOKEN      = 0x0004,
   WORDEXT_FINDEXPRESSION = 0x0008,
} WORDEXTFLAGS;
