Examples

The following example demonstrates using the Text property of a TextRange to return the plain text representation of a specified FlowDocument.

// This method returns a plain text representation of a specified FlowDocument.
string GetTextFromFlowDocument(FlowDocument flowDoc)
{
     // Create a new TextRanage that takes the entire FlowDocument as the current selection.
     TextRange flowDocSelection = new TextRange(flowDoc.ContentStart, flowDoc.ContentEnd);
      
     // Use the Text property to extract a string that contains the unformatted text contents 
     // of the FlowDocument.
     return flowDocSelection.Text;
}
' This method returns a plain text representation of a specified FlowDocument.
Private Function GetTextFromFlowDocument(ByVal flowDoc As FlowDocument) As String
    ' Create a new TextRanage that takes the entire FlowDocument as the current selection.
    Dim flowDocSelection As New TextRange(flowDoc.ContentStart, flowDoc.ContentEnd)

    ' Use the Text property to extract a string that contains the unformatted text contents 
    ' of the FlowDocument.
    Return flowDocSelection.Text
End Function

Remarks

The TextRange class introduces the following terminology.

  • Selection - A TextRange is a selection of content between two positions indicated by TextPointers. One of these positions a fixed anchor with respect to the selection, while the other position is movable. This is similar to how a selection made by a user using the mouse or keyboard behaves.

  • Current Selection - Because a TextRange always indicates a selection in content, it makes sense to simply refer to the selection indicated by a TextRange as the current selection.

  • Text Container - A text container is the element that forms the ultimate border for the flow content at hand; the selection indicated by a TextRange always falls within a text container. Currently, a text container must be either a FlowDocument or a TextBlock.

  • Document - The content collectively contained within a text container is referred to as a document.

For more information about other related terms like position, see TextPointer.
