selRTF

[Ike]

Can someone please tell me what the following means:

ActiveForm.rtfT ext.SelRTF

I've taken it from the following context:

ActiveForm.rtfT ext.SelRTF = Clipboard.getTe xt

So it seems I am assigning the clipbard context to something that is on an
active child form - but what in the world then is rtfText.SelRTF. I dont
have an rtfText object anywhere (that I can see) and am trying to figure out
what that is. And what is SelRTF ? How can I rewrite this expression,
ActiveForm.rtfT ext.SelRTF, to be for plain text, rather than RTF text?
Thanks, Ike

Re: selRTF

This is some kind of homework assignment?
Do you know about RichTextBox. Your rtfText
is a RichTextBox. You must have an RTB somewhere,
on one of your forms.
An RTB has the properties Text for the visible text
and TextRTF for the RichText encoding that the RTB
is holding. It also has SelText and SelRTF, to access
the selected versions. Your code replaces the selection.
If there's no selection it inserts the new text at the caret
offset (SelStart). You might find it helpful to look up
all of the RTB properties starting with "Sel". There are
a bunch of them.
