Examples

The following code uses the CompareTo method to find out if the RichTextBox is empty. This code example is part of a larger example used in the TextPointer class.

    'This method returns true if the RichTextBox is empty.
    Public Function isRichTextBoxEmpty() As Boolean
        Dim startPointer As TextPointer = MyRTB1.ContentStart.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward)
        Dim endPointer As TextPointer = MyRTB1.ContentEnd.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Backward)
        If (startPointer.CompareTo(endPointer) = 0) Then
            Return True
        Else
            Return False
        End If
    End Function


//This method returns true if the RichTextBox is empty.
public bool isRichTextBoxEmpty()
{
    TextPointer startPointer = MyRTB1.ContentStart.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
    TextPointer endPointer = MyRTB1.ContentEnd.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Backward);
    if (startPointer.CompareTo(endPointer) == 0)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
