[SOLVED] EM_GETTEXTEX - wrongly documented return value?

EM_GETTEXTEX - wrongly documented return value?

According to MSDN, EM_GETTEXTEX returns the following:

The return value is the number of TCHARs copied into the
output buffer, including the null terminator.

Now take a look at the following code:

GETTEXTLENGTHEX gtl;
GETTEXTEX gt;
int len;
TCHAR *buf;

memset(&gtl, 0, sizeof(GETTEXTLENGTHEX));
gtl.flags = GTL_DEFAULT;
gtl.codepage = 1200;

len = SendMessage(hEditWnd, EM_GETTEXTLENGTHEX, (WPARAM) &gtl, 0);

printf("LEN: %d\n", len);

buf = malloc((len + 1) * sizeof(TCHAR));

memset(&gt, 0, sizeof(GETTEXTEX));
gt.cb = (len + 1) * sizeof(TCHAR);
gt.flags = GT_DEFAULT;
gt.codepage = 1200;

len = SendMessage(hEditWnd, EM_GETTEXTEX, (WPARAM) &gt, (LPARAM) buf);

printf("LEN: %d NULLCHECK: %d\n", len, buf[len]);

For a RichEdit control that contains the text Hello, this program outputs the following:

LEN: 5
LEN: 5 NULLCHECK: 0

This is confusing me because MSDN says that the count value retuned by EM_GETTEXTEX is supposed to include the null terminator, thus I'd expect 6 but instead I get 5.

Is this a documentation bug or am I doing something wrong here?

EDIT

Here is the manifest:

</assembly>

And here is the CreateWindowEx() call:

hEditWnd = CreateWindowEx(0, L"RichEdit20W", L"",
WS_VSCROLL|WS_HSCROLL|ES_LEFT|ES_AUTOHSCROLL|ES_AUTOVSCROLL|
WS_CHILD|ES_MULTILINE|WS_BORDER,  
0,0,0,0, hWnd, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

Solution

I have made a doc pull request that has been merged, so assume it was indeed a mistake and it should be fixed by now.
