Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a RichTextBox that zooms in on text, automatically selects words in the text of the control when a word is double-clicked, and has a margin on the right side of the client area of the control. If the RichTextBox control has a small width, using this code will create a RichTextBox where each character of text is displayed on its own line. While in this vertical display position, clicking on any part of a word will select all characters of the word regardless of the fact that the text is displayed vertically. This example requires that you have a form that contains a RichTextBox control named richTextBox1.

private:
   void ZoomMyRichTextBox()
   {
      // Enable users to select entire word when double clicked.
      richTextBox1->AutoWordSelection = true;

      // Clear contents of control.
      richTextBox1->Clear();

      // Set the right margin to restrict horizontal text.
      richTextBox1->RightMargin = 2;

      // Set the text for the control.
      richTextBox1->SelectedText = "Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot";

      // Zoom by 2 points.
      richTextBox1->ZoomFactor = 2.0f;
   }

private void ZoomMyRichTextBox()
{
    // Enable users to select entire word when double clicked.
    richTextBox1.AutoWordSelection = true;
    // Clear contents of control.
    richTextBox1.Clear();
    // Set the right margin to restrict horizontal text.
    richTextBox1.RightMargin = 2;
    // Set the text for the control.
    richTextBox1.SelectedText = "Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot";
    // Zoom by 2 points.
    richTextBox1.ZoomFactor = 2.0f;
}

Private Sub ZoomMyRichTextBox()
    ' Enable users to select entire word when double clicked.
    richTextBox1.AutoWordSelection = True
    ' Clear contents of control.
    richTextBox1.Clear()
    ' Set the right margin to restrict horizontal text.
    richTextBox1.RightMargin = 2
    ' Set the text for the control.
    richTextBox1.SelectedText = "Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot"
    ' Zoom by 2 points.
    richTextBox1.ZoomFactor = 2.0F
End Sub

Remarks

If this property is set to true, selecting any part of the text in the control selects the entire word.
