Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub SelectText ( _
    pxnField As IXMLDOMNode, _
    varViewContext As Object _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As View
Dim pxnField As IXMLDOMNode
Dim varViewContext As Object

instance.SelectText(pxnField, varViewContext)

void SelectText(
    IXMLDOMNode pxnField,
    Object varViewContext
)

Parameters

  • varViewContext
    Type: System.Object

    The ID of the control that is used for the context, which is an element with the specified view context of xd:CtrlId.

Remarks

If a view context is specified, then the editable field that is to be selected must be within that context.

If there are more than one set of view elements which map to the same specified XML DOM node, within the given view context, then the SelectText method will return an error. In addition, if any of the arguments to the SelectText method are a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or are not exposed in the view, then the SelectText method will also return an error.

Important

This member can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

Examples

In the following example, the SelectText method of the ViewObject object is used to select text inside a field that is bound to an XML DOM node:

IXMLDOMNode field1;
field1 = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode(@"/my:myFields/my:field1");
thisXDocument.View.SelectText(field1, Type.Missing);
