The starting and end positions of the currently edited cell's selected text.
Usage
Set_Property(OLECtrlEntID, "OLE.EditSelection", Array)
Values
Array has the following structure:
| Pos | Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <1> | Start | Integer | The selection start position | 1 |
| <2> | End | Integer | The selection end position | 1 |
Remarks
The EditSelection property allows you to programmatically modify the selected text in the currently edited cell.
If Start is 0, then End is ignored and the selection is removed.
If End is 0, then all text from Start to the end is selection.
If both Start and End are greater than 0, then the text is selected from Start to End.
Unlike OI's SELECTION property, the EditSelection property is in the format Start:@FM:End whereas OI's SELECTION property is in the format Start:@FM:Length.
Example
// Select all the text of the currently edited cell Set_Property(@Window:".OLE_EDITTABLE", "OLE.EditSelection", 1:@FM:0) // Remove the selections from the currently edited cell Set_Property(@Window:".OLE_EDITTABLE", "OLE.EditSelection", 0:@FM:1) // Select only the first 3 characters of the currently edited cell Set_Property(@Window:".OLE_EDITTABLE", "OLE.EditSelection", 1:@FM:3) // Select from the 3rd character to the end Set_Property(@Window:".OLE_EDITTABLE", "OLE.EditSelection", 3:@FM:0) // Get the selection of the currently edited cell Selection = Get_Property(@Window:".OLE_EDITTABLE", "OLE.EditSelection")
