SelectedTextLength
property for PowerScript controls
Applies to
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 section called “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 2 3 4 |
string strword strword = wspell.object.MisspelledWord rte_1.SelectedStartPos = wspell.object.WordOffset rte_1.SelectedTextLength = Len(strword) |
