Property Value

Type: EnvDTE::vsSelectionMode

A vsSelectionMode constant.

Mode can be set only when the selection is collapsed to a single point. By default, methods that extend the selection do so in stream mode. Any method or action that collapses the selection automatically sets Mode to vsSelectionModeStream.

VB
Copy 
Sub ModeExample()
   ' Before running this example, open a text document.
   Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
   MsgBox("Selection mode: " & objSel.Mode.ToString)
   objSel.Mode = vsSelectionMode.vsSelectionModeBox
   MsgBox("Selection mode: " & objSel.Mode.ToString)
End Sub
