Just an another problem about how to detect the Length of selected

Why not just use .selLength? (Though I see that you say it
produces the same result, which is what it should -- it's just more
efficient.)
and my code is (in the keyDown event)
l = len(me.selText) or l = me.seltext.Len
l = 2, and that is correct
But if i select text like this: T[his] is my text
l is 0 (zero) in both case, and it should be 3!
What key are you pressing to trigger KeyDown? Perhaps that's
changing it. Have you tried displaying the .selLength in a
StaticText from, say, a Timer? I've used this many times and never
had it fail on me.

I cant assign me.SelText to an string
myString = me.seltext
l = len(myString)
l = 0 (zero), and the debugger show length 0 ASCII for myString
Well, that's consistent. I suspect that the selection really IS
empty at the time your code is running.
Best,

It was some confusing that it works on an whole word but not on an
half word. And to the left of an whole word is space,
so I am soon getting it. ...
Yes the string is empty...
Trigger ? a whole bunch of control characters...
So the fix going to be something like: if not Keyboard.Controlkey ......
Thanks for your reply!
