Foxtools Editor Support Functions
_EDDELETE
_EdDelete() Deletes the highlighted text of the editor session passed in <nWHAND> parameter.
VFP Syntax
= _EdDelete(nWHAND)
Parameters
[in] nWHAND
Fox-window handle of the editor session to be closed.
Returns
VOID - no evaluable return value, coz always TRUE.
Remarks
You do not need to open the Windows Clipboard manually. _EdDelete() does the Windows Clipboard handling for you behind the scenes transparently. If no text is highlighted _EdDelete() just does nothing (the character to the right of the current cursor position is NOT deleted, as stated in FoxPro’s API documentation).
VFP Example(s)
Opening an editor session, selecting some text and finally delete the selected lines:
*\\ Open editor session *\\ There should be some text in TEST.TXT nWHAND =_EDOPENFIL("TEST.TXT", 1) *\\ Start offset: row #1 nEDstart = _EDSKIPLIN(m.nWHAND,0,0) *\\ End offset: row #10 nEDend = _EDSKIPLIN(m.nWHAND,0,10) *\\ Highlight text block = _EDSELECT(m.nWHAND, m.nEDstart, m.nEDend) *\\ Finally copy selection to clipboard = _EDDELETE(m.nWHAND) *\\ Close editor session – ask to SaveAs = _EDCLOSEFI(m.nWHAND, 2) *//
