// After this constructor is called, the new RichTextBox rtb will contain flowDoc.
RichTextBox rtb = new RichTextBox(flowDoc);
// This call will select the entire contents of the RichTextBox.
rtb.SelectAll();
// This call returns the current selection (which happens to be the entire contents
// of the RichTextBox) as a TextSelection object.
TextSelection currentSelection = rtb.Selection;
' Create a simple FlowDocument to serve as the content input for the construtor.
Dim flowDoc As New FlowDocument(New Paragraph(New Run("Simple FlowDocument")))
' After this constructor is called, the new RichTextBox rtb will contain flowDoc.
Dim rtb As New RichTextBox(flowDoc)
' This call will select the entire contents of the RichTextBox.
rtb.SelectAll()
' This call returns the current selection (which happens to be the entire contents
' of the RichTextBox) as a TextSelection object.
