Property Value

A string containing the text on the Vt window that is selected. A Cr/Lf combination is used to separate rows.

If no text is selected, this property will return an empty string.

The following example demonstrates how to print the display.

C#

private string printScreen(bool useSelectedText)
{
	//Select display window to print and return
	vt1.Selection.Start = new Point(vt1.BufferRows, 0);
	vt1.Selection.End = new Point(vt1.BufferRows + vt1.Rows, vt1.Columns);

	//No difference in this case (when the entire display is selected)
	if (useSelectedText)
		vt1.Selection.Print();
	else
		vt1.PrintScreen();

	return vt1.Selection.Text;
}

Visual Basic

Private Function printScreen(ByVal useSelectedText As Boolean) As String
	'Select display window to print and return
	vt1.Selection.Start = New Point(vt1.BufferRows, 0)
	vt1.Selection.End = New Point(vt1.BufferRows + vt1.Rows, vt1.Columns)

	'No difference in this case (when the entire display is selected)
	If useSelectedText Then
		vt1.Selection.Print()
	Else
		vt1.PrintScreen()
	End If

	Return vt1.Selection.Text
End Function
