UsePathSep Property

           

Windows NT only. Returns or sets a value that determines whether the text box uses the slash ("/"), backslash ("\") and period (".") characters as word delimiters.

Syntax

object.UsePathSep [= boolean]

The UsePathSep property syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
boolean A Boolean expression specifying whether path separator characters will be considered word delimiters, as described in Settings.

Settings

The settings for boolean are:

Setting Description
True Path separator characters will be used as word delimiters.
False (Default) Path separator characters will be considered part of the word.

Remarks

Word delimiters determine how the user can navigate text. Typically, spaces are considered word delimiters, and the user can move through a text string one word at a time by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the left or right ARROW keys. Each CTRL+ARROW keystroke moves the text cursor to the next delimiter (space).

If UsePathSep is set to True, path separator characters ("/", "\" and ".") are also considered word delimiters. This makes it easier for the user to navigate through long network pathnames or Internet URL addresses using CTRL+ARROW keystrokes.
