Get selected text

[khho]

Hi Support,
what is the easiest way to get the selected text in a document.

I'm sure it is posted somwhere here but I can't find it.
I don't need e_docSelection_changed...

Hello khho,

You will probably need the methods of this interface:

Kind regards,

I do it like this:

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IPXV_DocSelection docSel = doc.ActiveSel;
if (docSel is PDFXEdit.IPXV_TextSelection)
{
	PDFXEdit.IPXV_PageTextSelection pageSel = ((PDFXEdit.IPXV_TextSelection)docSel).GetSel(0,true);
	result = pageSel.GetPlainText();
}

What is the best way to determine nPageIndex for GetSel?

Hope this will help:

Code: Select all

int selID = pxvInst.Str2ID("selection.text");
PDFXEdit.IPXV_DocSelection docSel = doc.GetSel(selID);
if (docSel != null)
{
      PDFXEdit.IPXV_TextSelection textSel = (PDFXEdit.IPXV_TextSelection)docSel;    

      uint countOfPagesWithSelText = textSel.Count; 
      for (unit i = 0; i < countOfPagesWithSelText; i++) 
      {
             PDFXEdit.IPXV_PageTextSelection pageTextSel = textSel[i];     
             unit pageIndex = pageTextSel.PageIndex;
             ...
             ...
      } 
}

Cheers.

Yes, that helped (again)!
With this example I don't need the PageIndex anymore.

Thanks!
