3.03 the Selection of member

Syntax:
set string = the Selection of member whichcastmember

Purpose:
This property is used to get the part of the text which the user has selected in the #html cast member.

Use this function, if you like to retrieve the plain text of the selection the user has made in the #html cast member, for example to print the selection. This is a standard Lingo string, that - of course - has no information about font sizes, text styles etc.

This property can be tested, but not set.

Notes:

• The returned string has no informations about formatting tags,
• paragraphs are separated by "return"
• If there is no user defined selection, the returned string is empty
