GetItem(Point, out Point)

Gets the text part at the specified geometric location.

public object GetItem(Point location, out Point clientOffset);

Public Function GetItem(location As Point, ByRef clientOffset As Point) As Object

Parameter	Description
location	Specifies a location where to search for a text part. The point must be specified in pixels with an origin at the top left corner of the control.

Return Value

The return value is the found text part, which is either the text part with the input focus or the text part at the specified location. It can be an object of the type MainText, TextFrame, FootnoteSection or HeaderFooter. All of these objects implement the IFormattedText interface. The first and the second implementation return null, if there is no text part with the input focus. This can happen, if an image is selected, or if another application or component has the input focus.

Examples

The following example works with text parts in the current document by using TextPartCollection.GetItem.

TextPartCollection textPartCollection = textControl.TextParts;

var result = textPartCollection.GetItem();
Console.WriteLine($"Get Item result: {result}");

Dim textPartCollection As TextPartCollection = textControl.TextParts

Dim result = textPartCollection.GetItem()
Console.WriteLine($"Get Item result: {result}")
