  int LineIndex( int nLine = -1 ) const;
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nLine>     Contains the index value for the desired character in the
              text of the edit control, or contains -1. If <nLine> is -1,
              it specifies the current line, i.e., the line that contains
              the caret.
 
  Remarks
 
  Retrieves the character index of a line within a multiple-line edit
  control. The character index is the number of characters from the
  beginning of the edit control to the specified line.
 
  This member function is only processed by multiple-line edit controls.
 
  Return Value
 
  The character index of the line specified in <nLine>, or -1 if the
  specified line number is greater then the number of lines in the edit
  control.
