VB.Net Highlighted Text Event Handler

I'm working with a Rich Textbox and want to get the text that the user will be highlighting with the mouse. Is there an event handler in VB.net that does this?

Solution

  • it is RichTextBox.SelectionChanged event.

    You can use it like that:

    Private Sub r1_SelectionChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles r1.SelectionChanged
    Me.Text = r1.SelectedText
End Sub
