  int LineFromChar( int nIndex = -1 ) const;
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nIndex>    Contains the zero-based index value for the desired
              character in the text of the edit control, or contains -1.
              If <nIndex> is -1, it specifies the current line, i.e., the
              line that contains the caret.
 
  Remarks
 
  Retrieves the line number of the line that contains the specified
  character index. A character index is the number of characters from the
  beginning of the edit control.
 
  This member function is only used by multiple-line edit controls.
 
  Return Value
 
  The zero-based line number of the line containing the character index
  specified by <nIndex>. If <nIndex> is -1, the number of the line that
  contains the first character of the selection is returned. If there is
  no selection, the current line number is returned.
