Deletes the selected text.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub Delete ( _
    Count As Integer _
)
void Delete(
    int Count
)
void Delete(
    [InAttribute] int Count
)
abstract Delete : 
        Count:int -> unit 
function Delete(
    Count : int
)

Parameters

  • Count
    Type: System.Int32
    Optional. Represents the number of characters to delete.

Remarks

Delete deletes the selected text without first copying it to the clipboard. If no text is selected, then Delete deletes Count characters to the right of the active end point. If Count is negative, then Delete performs like the DeleteLeft.

Examples

Public objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection

Sub DeleteExample()
   ' Before running this example, open a text document.
   ' Perform operations on the text.
   objSel.StartOfDocument(False)
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstColumn, 4)
   objSel.Copy()
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText, 4)
   objSel.Cut()
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText, 4)
   objSel.Delete()
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText, 4)
   objSel.DeleteLeft(6)
   objSel.DestructiveInsert("NEW TEXT")
End Sub

Sub Position(ByVal pos As vsStartOfLineOptions, ByVal ipos As Integer)
   ' Moves the insertion point down to the beginning of the next line, 
   ' then highlights the right-most four characters.
   objSel.LineDown()
   objSel.StartOfLine(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText)
   objSel.CharRight(True, 4)
End Sub
