TCustomEdit.SelStart property
The zero-based index for the first UTF-8 character in the current text selection.
Declaration
property SelStart: Integer read GetSelStart write SetSelStart;Description
SelStart is an
Integer property which contains the
ordinal position in
Text for the UTF-8-encoded character at the
start of the current text selection. The current text selection includes the
number of characters in
SelLength. SelStart is a zero-based value.
The value for SelStart is read from the widgetset class when a handle has been allocated for the control. Otherwise, the value is read from the internal member for the property. Setting a new value for the property notifies the widgetset class when a handle has been allocated for the control.
Use SelLength for the number of UTF-8-encoded characters in the
current text selection.
Use SelText to examine the values selected in the control, or to
replace the value in the current text selection. ClearSelection
can be used to remove the characters in the current text selection for the
control.
Use SelectAll to make all values in Text the current text
selection in the control.
Use HideSelection to un-select the current text selection in the
control.
