Defines the length of the selected text.

Syntax

Get

object

A SftMask object.

Len

Defines the length of the selected text. This value may be negative.

Comments

The SelLength property defines the length of the selected text.

The selected text or current selection always starts at the index defined by the SelStart property, which is also the caret location or insertion point.

The selection extends from the position defined by SelStart towards the end of the text if SelLength is a positive value. If SelLength is a negative value, the selection extends from the position defined by SelStart towards the beginning of the text.

    AxSftMask1.AutoComplete.Contents = SftMaskAutoCompleteContentsConstants.contentsSftMaskFilesDirs
    AxSftMask1.AutoComplete.DefaultDirectory = "C:\"
    AxSftMask1.OLEDragMode = SftMaskOLEDragModeConstants.OLEDragSftMaskManual
