  1. this is the code im using

    Dim iLineIndex As Integer = SendMessage(hwnd, EM_LINEINDEX, ilastLine, 0)
Dim iLineLength As Integer = SendMessage(hwnd, EM_LINELENGTH, iLineIndex, 0)
if iLineLength = 0 return Nothing ' or return ""
Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder(iLineLength)
sb.Append(ChrW(iLineLength))
sb.Length = iLineLength
SendMessage(hwnd, EM_GETLINE, ilastLine, sb)

  5.     Declare Unicode Function SendMessage Lib "USER32" Alias "SendMessageW" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As StringBuilder) As Integer

    Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "USER32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As Integer) As Integer

  9. that is the exception i get

  10. Yes catch it and check all relevant parameters in code.

    Try
    SendMessage(hwnd, EM_GETLINE, ilastLine, sb)
Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox("SendMessage failed " & ex.Message)
End Try

    Set breakpoint at MsgBox
