Description
Returns the length, in bytes, of the first MaxLen characters of a string.
Call CharToElementLen to convert the length of a string in characters into the corresponding length in bytes. CharToElementLen returns the number of bytes required by the first MaxLen characters of S. If S contains fewer than MaxLen characters, CharToElementLen returns the byte length of S.
If the system is not using a multi-byte character system (MBCS), CharToElementLen returns the length of S or MaxLen, whichever is smaller.
