Visual Basic: RichTextBox Control
SelCharOffset Property
Returns or sets a value that determines whether text in the RichTextBox control appears on the baseline (normal), as a superscript above the baseline, or as a subscript below the baseline. Not available at design time.
Syntax
object.SelCharOffset [= offset]
The SelCharOffset property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| offset | An integer that determines how far the characters in the current selection or that following the insertion point are offset from the baseline of the text, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for offset are:
| Setting | Description |
| Null | Neither. The selection has a mix of characters with different offsets. |
| 0 | (Default) Normal. The characters all appear on the normal text baseline. |
| Positive integer | Superscript. The characters appear above the baseline by the number of twips specified. |
| Negative integer | Subscript. The characters appear below the baseline by the number of twips specified. |
Remarks
To distinguish between the values of Null and 0 when reading this property at run time, use the IsNull function with the If...Then...Else statement. For example:
If IsNull(RichTextBox1.SelCharOffset) = True Then
' Code to run when selection is mixed.
ElseIf RichTextBox1.SelCharOffset = 0 Then
' Code to run when selection is all on the baseline.
...
End If
