Namespace: System.Windows.Automation.Provider
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function GetSelection As ITextRangeProvider()
ITextRangeProvider[] GetSelection()
Return Value
Type: array<System.Windows.Automation.Provider.ITextRangeProvider[]
A collection of disjoint text ranges.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | If the UI Automation provider does not support text selection. |
Remarks
For UI Automation providers that support text selection, the provider should implement this method and also return a SupportedTextSelection value.
If no text is selected, GetSelection returns the degenerate text range (empty range) at the position of the system cursor (the text insertion point).
If the system cursor is not present, GetSelection may return nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
