I need to get text from a textbox in winforms, i need to get the text that the cursor is in between e.g
Hello or posit|ion or look
This should return the word position
(Note here i used the pipe as the cursor)
Do you know any technique i can use for this
I tested this real quick and it seems like it works consistently
Private Function GetCurrentWord(ByRef txtbox As TextBox) As String
Dim CurrentPos As Integer = txtbox.SelectionStart
Dim StartPos As Integer = CurrentPos
Dim EndPos As Integer = txtbox.Text.ToString.IndexOf(" ", StartPos)
If EndPos < 0 Then
EndPos = txtbox.Text.Length
End If
If StartPos = txtbox.Text.Length Then
Return ""
End If
StartPos = txtbox.Text.LastIndexOf(" ", CurrentPos)
If StartPos < 0 Then
StartPos = 0
End If
Return txtbox.Text.Substring(StartPos, EndPos - StartPos).Trim
End Function
