Introduced: 12.0.
Syntax
TXTextControl.TextFrameSelect TextFrameId
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| TextFrameId | Is the identifier of the text frame to select. It must be an identifier returned through the TextFrameInsert, TextFrameInsertAsChar or TextFrameInsertFixed method. If this parameter is zero, which is the default mode, a Text Control performs automatic selection, which means that a certain property or method manipulates the text part with the current input position. If this parameter is -1, the method selects the main text, which means that a property or method manipulates the main text, independent of which text part has the current input focus. |
Return Value
The method returns True, if the selection could be performed, otherwise it returns False.
Data Types
| Name | Data type |
|---|---|
| TextFrameId | Integer |
| Return value | Boolean |
Remarks
The TX Text Control button bar, ruler and status bar need the default automatic mode for correct working. Therefore, when a selection is no longer needed, it should be reset to the default mode.
