Windows Forms: SelectionChanged event for TextBox

Question

How do I get notified of a selection change in a text box in .NET 2.0? I was unable to find a SelectionChanged event or an OnSelectionChanged method. What is the best workaround for this (without having to PInvoke, of course)?

Answer 1

You could use a RichTextBox and set Multiline to false. It has a OnSelectionChanged.

Answer 2

You can use TextBox also.

Write a funktion GetMyPosition() and put in the events

• TextChanged()
• MouseClick()
• KeyUp() (In KeyDown() the position isn't changed)

When you want to notify the highliting of a text, you also have to use - MouseHover()

Answer 3

Well, I guess this may help! You will need to use RichTextBox still.
