Parameters

PointOrCount

Required. Represents either a TextPoint object or a number of characters.

If PointOrCount is a TextPoint object, Delete deletes the text between the edit point and PointOrCount. If PointOrCount is an integer, then Delete deletes the text from the edit point through the specified number of characters following the edit point, adding one for each implied newline sequence at the end of each line.

If PointOrCount is negative, then Delete deletes text before the edit point.
