SelectionStart Property (MaskField)

In This Topic

Gets the selection start position.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property SelectionStart As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As MaskField
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.SelectionStart

public int SelectionStart {get;}

Property Value

The System.Int32 value indicates the selection start position.
The default is 0.

Remarks

If no text is selected in the control, this property indicates the insertion point for new text. If you set this property to a location beyond the length of the text in the control, the selection start position will be placed after the last character. When text is selected in the control, changing this property might decrease the value of the SelectionLength property. If the remaining text in the control after the position indicated by the SelectionStart property is less than the value of the SelectionLength property, the value of the SelectionLength property is automatically decreased. The value of the SelectionStart property never causes an increase in the SelectionLength property.
