HideSelection Property (SuperEditBase)

Gets or sets whether selected text loses its highlighting when the control loses focus.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property HideSelection As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SuperEditBase
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.HideSelection = value
 
value = instance.HideSelection

public virtual bool HideSelection {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean value: true to hide the selection highlight when the control loses focus; false otherwise

Remarks

When this property is set to true, selected text does not appear highlighted when the control loses the focus. When this property is set to false, selected text remains highlighted when the control loses the focus.

Note: In some controls, this property is always set to false, or is sometimes overridden and set to false temporarily, due to how the control appears when it is edited. That is, if the control displays its contents in one way when it is being edited, but in another way when it is not in edit mode, it might have this property set to false at all times.

Use this property to indicate whether the selected text is selected while another form or a dialog box has the focus, for example, in a spell-checking routine.

Example

control.EditModeCursorPosition = FarPoint.Win.EditModeCursorPosition.LastKnownPosition;
control.Text = "This is a test for HideSelection";
control.ControlType = FarPoint.Win.ControlType.Normal;
control.SelectionStart = 2;
control.SelectionLength = 5;
control.Selectable = true;
control.HideSelection = false;
control.AutoMenu = true;
textBox1.Text = control.SelectedText();
control.MaxLength = 9;
