ITextSelection.SelectedSpans Property

The currently-selected spans.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.UI (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.UI.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property SelectedSpans As NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection
NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection SelectedSpans { get; }
property NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection^ SelectedSpans {
    NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection^ get ();
}
abstract SelectedSpans : NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection
The currently-selected spans.

Remarks

This span collection is never empty, but the spans in this collection may be 0-length. This value can be very expensive to compute for the first time after the selection has changed, or after the view has done a layout. Use GetSelectionOnTextViewLine unless you need the entire selection.
