selection issue in the ultraformatted text editor
posted

I am using UltraFormattedTextEditor that internally stores the formats in HTML.

the normal text editor has function like Select(start index, length) but there is no similar function in Formatted text editor. Hence, I am using following.

txtEditor.EditInfo.SelectionStart = index;

txtEditor.EditInfo.SelectionLength = find.Length;

Actually I am implementing find and replace feature. So when user finds a word, it needs to highlight (select) that word. So, I should be finding withing .Text property and not .Value property. Because .value property may find something within the html formatting text as well. So, once we find a word within .Text property and use its index/length for the EditInfo - it does not display it correctly (may be because the EditInfo is trying to select within the Value property).

So, I am not clear as to what should be the right approach here.
