TextBoxBase::HideSelection Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the selected text in the text box control remains highlighted when the control loses focus.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the selected text does not appear highlighted when the text box control loses focus; false, if the selected text remains highlighted when the text box control loses focus. The default is true.
You can use this property to keep text highlighted in a text box control while another form or a dialog box has focus, such as a spelling checker dialog box.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the HideSelection property. To run the example, paste the following code in a form. Call the InitializeTextBox method in the form's constructor or Load method.
//Declare a textbox called TextBox1. internal: System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ TextBox1; private: //Initialize TextBox1. void InitializeTextBox() { this->TextBox1 = gcnew TextBox; this->TextBox1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 32, 24 ); this->TextBox1->Name = "TextBox1"; this->TextBox1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 136, 20 ); this->TextBox1->TabIndex = 1; this->TextBox1->Text = "Type and hit enter here..."; //Keep the selection highlighted, even after textbox loses focus. TextBox1->HideSelection = false; this->Controls->Add( TextBox1 ); }
