ComboBox.SelectionStart Property

Definition

Gets or sets the starting index of text selected in the combo box.

public:
 property int SelectionStart { int get(); void set(int value); };
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
public int SelectionStart { get; set; }
[<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)>]
member this.SelectionStart : int with get, set
Public Property SelectionStart As Integer

Property Value

The zero-based index of the first character in the string of the current text selection.

Attributes

Exceptions

The value is less than zero.

Remarks

If no text is selected in the control, this property indicates the insertion point for new text. If you set this property to a location beyond the length of the text in the control, the selection start position is placed after the last character. When text is selected in the text box control, changing this property can release the value of the SelectionLength property. If the remaining text in the control after the position indicated by the SelectionStart property is less than the value of the SelectionLength property, the value of the SelectionLength property is automatically decreased. The value of the SelectionStart property never causes an increase in the SelectionLength property.

Note

SelectionStart returns the lower value of the current selection. For example, Select(10, -4) selects the text from character position 6 through character position 10. If you now get the SelectionStart value, it will be 6 rather than 10.
