Hello,
yep me again :lol:

seems we have a custom Textbox and i and use the Inherits Control
and added a New Windows.Forms.TextBox as control
but seems i can't use the SelectedText

when i use the bottom code
i don't get any SelectedText??

i do:

Code: Select all

TextBox1.SelectedText += "some text"
'but some text don't come :(

Code: Select all

Public Overridable Property SelectedText As String

'source

thanks

Under what event are you using that code?

[Dummy1912]

no event #Usman55 because msdn don't speak of a event to add under it
i thought to use it like a normal function like the real textbox does

so when you do:

Code: Select all

textbox1.selectedtext = ""

i do get this part with the event we showed upstairs but we don't get any text to show :(
what are we doing wrong and how can we make it work
thanks

I don't have Windows installed atm so I can't confirm anything.

Try the same code with a regular textbox and button. If it works then the problem is probably with the way you're using the code.

Good luck!

It may help if you post your code/files for us to look at and see what's going on.

Try this (C# sorry)

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    class MyTextBox : Control
    {
        private TextBox TB = new TextBox() { Dock = DockStyle.Fill, HideSelection = false };
        public MyTextBox()
        {
            this.Controls.Add(TB);
        }

        public string SelectedText
        {
            get { return TB.SelectedText; }
            set { TB.SelectedText = value; }
        }
    }
}
