Syntax

The SelCharOffset property syntax has these parts:

Part Description

Settings

The settings for offset are:

Setting Description
Null Neither. The selection has a mix of characters with different offsets.

Remarks

To distinguish between the values of Null and 0 when reading this property at run time, use the IsNull function with the If...Then...Else statement. For example:

If IsNull(RichTextBox1.SelCharOffset) = True Then
   ' Code to run when selection is mixed.
ElseIf RichTextBox1.SelCharOffset = 0 Then
   ' Code to run when selection is all on the baseline.
...
End If
