SelText Property, SftMask Object

Defines the selected text.

Syntax

Get

Put

object

A SftMask object.

String

Defines the selected text.

Comments

The SelText property defines the selected text.

The SelText property describes the currently selected text, including any literals based on the ClipMode property.

When setting the SelText property, the specified String replaces the currently selected text. Based on the ClipMode property, literals may be present. In any case, if characters in the new string String are not acceptable based on the defined input mask (see Mask property), they are simply ignored.

When retrieving or setting the SelText property in a Masked Edit control (with Mask), input positions without data are represented by the carriage return (Chr(13)) character. This allows the distinction between unspecified data and specified (but blank) data fields. A simple edit control (without Mask) does not have unspecified positions and never uses the carriage return place holder.
