A returned coordinate can be a negative value if the specified character is not displayed in the edit control's client area. The coordinates are truncated to integer values.
If the character is a line delimiter, the returned coordinates indicate a point just beyond the last visible character in the line. If the specified index is greater than the index of the last character in the control, the control returns -1.
