RichTextEdit controls
The SelectedStartPos property specifies the starting position in a selected text string.
Typically, you use the SelectedStartPos property to set the starting position of a selected text string to the first letter of a word that is flagged by a supported ActiveX spell checking control.
See the chapter on implementing rich text in Application Techniques for more information about spell checking text in RichTextEdit controls.
The SelectedStartPos property cannot be set in a design-time painter.
The SelectedStartPos property takes a long value.
The following code in a ReplaceWord event for the Wintertree Software WSpell ActiveX control sets the starting position in the text string that is being spell checked to the offset position of a misspelled word. After setting the starting position, the SelectedTextLength setting causes the entire misspelled word to be highlighted, and the ReplaceText call replaces it with a word that the user selects in a WSpell dialog box.
string str
str = wspell.object.MisspelledWord
rte_1.SelectedStartPos = wspell.object.WordOffset
rte_1.SelectedTextLength = Len(str)
rte_1.ReplaceText(wspell.object.ReplacementWord)
