The zero-based index of a text element in this StringInfo object.
lengthInTextElements
Type: System::Int32
The number of text elements to retrieve.

Type: System::String

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startingTextElement is less than zero.

-or-

startingTextElement is greater than or equal to the length of the string that is the value of the current StringInfo object.

-or-

lengthInTextElements is less than zero.

The string that is the value of the current StringInfo object is the empty string ("").

startingTextElement + lengthInTextElements specify an index that is greater than the number of text elements in this StringInfo object.

Consider a string that consists of five text elements, indexed from 0 through 4. If the startingTextElement parameter is 1 and the lengthInTextElements parameter is 3, the SubstringByTextElements method returns a substring that consists of the text elements for which the indexes are 1, 2, and 3.
