Question

I'm working with a Rich Textbox and want to get the text that the user will be highlighting with the mouse. Is there an event handler in VB.net that does this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

it is RichTextBox.SelectionChanged event.

You can use it like that:

Private Sub r1_SelectionChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles r1.SelectionChanged
    Me.Text = r1.SelectedText
End Sub
