SelectedTextLength property for PowerScript controls
Controls
RichTextEdit controls
Description
The SelectedTextLength property specifies the length of text
you want to highlight in a selected text string.
Usage
Typically you use this property to obtain the length of a
misspelled word that is flagged after passing the selected text
string to 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 SelectedTextLength property cannot be set in a design-time
painter.
In scripts
The SelectedTextLength property takes a long value. The following
code in a MixedCaseWord or ReplaceWord event for the Wintertree
Software WSpell ActiveX control causes a word flagged by the control
to be highlighted for its entire length, beginning with the word’s
offset position in the text string that you are spell checking:
|
1 |
string strword |
|
1 |
strword = wspell.object.MisspelledWord |
|
1 |
rte_1.SelectedStartPos = wspell.object.WordOffset |
|
1 |
rte_1.SelectedTextLength = Len(strword) |
