_EdSelect() Selects a range of characters in the editor session passed in <nWHANDL>.
VFP Syntax
= _EdSelect(nWHAND, nOffset1, nOffset2)
Parameters
[in] nWHAND
Fox-window handle of the editor session in question. If nWHANDL is no valid editor-session handle, an error “API call caused an exception” (Error 2028) is raised.
[in] nOffset1
Position in text buffer where selection starts. This start offset value is zero-based counted from begin of file (BOF).
[in] nOffset2
Position in text buffer where selection ends. This end offset value is zero-based counted from begin of file (BOF).
Returns
VOID - no evaluable return value, coz always TRUE.
Remarks
Which text block is currently selected can be retrieved using elements# 17 to 19 of the environment info-array returned by _EdGetEnv(). To unselect any text, just pass the same value in <nOffset1> and <nOffset2> to _EdSelect() like so:
= _EdSelect(m.nWHAND, 0, 0)
VFP Example(s)
Opening an editor session, selecting a block of text:
*\\ Open editor session nWHAND =_EDOPENFIL("TEST.TXT", 1) *\\ select characters 1 to 10
? _EDSELECT(m.nWHAND, 0, 9)
