TextBox.SelLength Property
Access Developer Reference |
The SelLength property specifies or determines the number of characters selected in a text box. Read/write Integer.
Syntax
expression.SelLength
expression A variable that represents a TextBox object.
Remarks
The SelLength property uses an Integer in the range 0 to the total number of characters in a text box or text box portion of a combo box.
To set or return this property for a control, the control must have the focus. To move the focus to a control, use the SetFocus method.
Setting the SelLength property to a number less than 0 produces a run-time error.
Example
The following example uses two event procedures to search for text specified by a user. The text to search is set in the form's Load event procedure. The Click event procedure for the Find button (which the user clicks to start the search) prompts the user for the text to search for and selects the text in the text box if the search is successful.
