|---|---|
|
rtename |
The name of the RichTextEdit or DataWindow control in which you want select a line. The DataWindow object in the DataWindow control must be a RichTextEdit DataWindow. |
Return value
Integer.
Returns the number of characters selected if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs.
Usage
If the RichTextEdit control contains a selection, the insertion point is either at the beginning or end of the selection. The way the text was selected determines which. If the user made the selection by dragging toward the end, then calling SelectTextLine selects the line at the end of the selection. If the user dragged back, then SelectTextLine selects the line at the beginning of the selection.
SelectTextLine does not select the line-ending characters (carriage return and linefeed in Windows).
Examples
This statement selects the current line:
rte_1.SelectTextLine()
