This method retrieves the number of characters in the current selection in this text box.

Syntax

virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE GetSelectionLength(
    int* pSelectionLength
) = 0;

Parameters

pSelectionLength
[out] Pointer to an integer value that indicates the number of characters in the current selection in this text box, or 0 if there is no selection.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT that indicates success or failure.

Remarks

This method retrieves the number of characters in the current selection. When you call IXRTextBox::SetSelectionLength, it adjusts the length of the current selection to the specified value, keeping the beginning of the selection fixed.

If the specified selection length is longer than the amount of text, the selection length automatically adjusts so that the resulting selection is never more than the amount of text.

When you call SetSelectionLength and pass in a valid value, the SelectionChanged event is raised.
