InputFieldDeleteCurrent

Description

Deletes the input field that is selected in a RichTextEdit control.

Applies to

RichTextEdit controls

Syntax

rtename.InputFieldDeleteCurrent ( )

Argument

Description

rtename

The name of the RichTextEdit control in which you want to delete the input field that is selected

Returns

Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if there is no input field at the insertion point, the input field is activated for editing, or an error occurs.

Usage

All the input fields that have the same name contain the same data but they can be deleted independently. If one of a group of input fields with the same name is deleted, the others are not affected. If all the input fields of the same name are deleted, the RichTextEdit control remembers the data from those input fields. It will use that data to initialize a new input field that has the same name as the deleted fields.

The input field must be the only selection. If other text is selected too, InputFieldDeleteCurrent fails. When an input field is the current and only selection, the highlight flashes.

InputFieldDeleteCurrent deletes only the current field. Other fields with the same name within the document are not affected. If the RichTextEdit control uses the DataSource function to share data with a DataWindow, the current field is deleted from all instances of the document.

Examples

Example 1

This example deletes the input field containing the insertion point:

integer li_rtn

li_rtn = rte_1.InputFieldDeleteCurrent()
