SelectionAnchor

Forms, interaction, unicode

Description

Returns the zero-based UTF-16 index of the anchor edge of the directed selection of the active edit

The anchor stays fixed while the caret extends the selection through shift-navigation, so a reversed selection reports an anchor greater than SelectionCaret

Selection changes that are not directed, such as SetSelection, place the anchor and caret at the same converted positions

Declaration

property SelectionAnchor: Integer;

Value

Returns the UTF-16 anchor position within EditValue, or zero when no edit is active
