Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the AppendText method and the TextLength property to copy text from one TextBox to another. This example requires that two TextBox controls named, textBox1 and textBox2, have been added to a form and that textBox1 has text assigned to its Text property.

void AppendTextBox1Text()
{
   // Determine if text is selected in textBox1.
   if ( textBox1->SelectionLength == 0 )

   // No selection made, return.
   return;

   // Determine if the text being appended to textBox2 exceeds the MaxLength property.
   if ( (textBox1->SelectedText->Length + textBox2->TextLength) > textBox2->MaxLength )
         MessageBox::Show( "The text to paste in is larger than the maximum number of characters allowed" ); // Append the text from textBox1 into textBox2.
   else
         textBox2->AppendText( textBox1->SelectedText );
}

private void AppendTextBox1Text()
{
   // Determine if text is selected in textBox1.
   if(textBox1.SelectionLength == 0)
      // No selection made, return.
      return;
   
   // Determine if the text being appended to textBox2 exceeds the MaxLength property.
   if((textBox1.SelectedText.Length + textBox2.TextLength) > textBox2.MaxLength)
      MessageBox.Show("The text to paste in is larger than the maximum number of characters allowed");
   else
      // Append the text from textBox1 into textBox2.
      textBox2.AppendText(textBox1.SelectedText);
}

Private Sub AppendTextBox1Text()
   ' Determine if text is selected in textBox1.
   If textBox1.SelectionLength = 0 Then
      ' No selection made, return.
      Return
   End If
   ' Determine if the text being appended to textBox2 exceeds the MaxLength property.
   If textBox1.SelectedText.Length + textBox2.TextLength > textBox2.MaxLength Then
      MessageBox.Show("The text to paste in is larger than the maximum number of characters allowed")
      ' Append the text from textBox1 into textBox2.
   Else
      textBox2.AppendText(textBox1.SelectedText)
   End If
End Sub

Remarks

You can use this method to add text to the existing text in the control instead of using the concatenation operator (+) to concatenate text to the Text property.
