SelectedStartPos property for PowerScript controls
Controls
RichTextEdit controls
Description
The SelectedStartPos property specifies the starting position
in a selected text string.
Usage
Typically, you use the SelectedStartPos property to set the
starting position of a selected text string to the first letter
of a word that is flagged by a supported ActiveX spell checking
control.
See the chapter on implementing rich text in Application
Techniques for more information about spell checking
text in RichTextEdit controls.
In a painter
The SelectedStartPos property cannot be set in a design-time
painter.
In scripts
The SelectedStartPos property takes a long value.
The following code in a ReplaceWord event for the Wintertree
Software WSpell ActiveX control sets the starting position in the
text string that is being spell checked to the offset position of
a misspelled word. After setting the starting position, the SelectedTextLength
setting causes the entire misspelled word to be highlighted, and
the ReplaceText call replaces it with a word
that the user selects in a WSpell dialog box.
