How to use DT_EDITCONTROL in ::DrawText

[RohanG]

::DrawText(pdc->GetSafeHdc(), cstrTest.GetBuffer(20), 17, CRect(CPoint(10,
10), CSize(100, 500)), DT_EDITCONTROL);

This code compiles, but it draws the text in only one line. It is not
multilined. Is there any attributes missing for this call?

look at the DT_WORDBREAK flag of DrawText(..) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/fontext_0odw.asp)

I don't want the words to be moved to the next line but teh word should be broken and moved to the next line. That is what DI_EDITCONTROL should do.

DrawText can't modify the array for you. Words are drawn without breaks.
DT_EDITCONTOL does this:
The function does not display a partially visible last line.
