How to get Highlighted Text in a RadRichTextBox

[Joseph]

Hi guys,

I am trying to get the highlighted text in a RadRichTextBox.

I can access the Selection object, but there is no property Text.

richTextArea.Document.Selection

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

Hello Joseph,

There is a method in DocumentSelection called GetSelectedText, so you can use something like this:

string selectedText = richTextArea.Document.Selection.GetSelectedText();

It is available as a method rather than a property to point that it's a relatively costly operation and repetitive calling should be avoided where possible.

Kind regards,
