Description

Warning: CharToByteLen is deprecated. Please use CharToElementLen.

Returns the length, in bytes, of the first MaxLen characters of a string.

Call CharToByteLen to convert the length of a string in characters to the corresponding length in bytes. CharToByteLen returns the number of bytes required by the first MaxLen characters of S. If S contains fewer than MaxLen characters, CharToByteLen returns the byte length of S.

If the system is not using a multi-byte character system (MBCS), CharToByteLen returns the length of S or MaxLen, whichever is smaller.
