Description

The property provides access to the current selection in the Authentic View.

The example code below retrieves the complete text of the current selection:

JavaScript:

 // somewhere in your script:

 GetSelection(objPlugIn.CurrentSelection);

 // GetSelection() collects complete text selection

 function GetSelection(objSel)

 {        

         var strText = "";

         var objCurrent = objSel.Start;

         while(!objSel.End.IsSameNode(objCurrent))

         {

                 objCurrent = objPlugIn.GetNextVisible(objCurrent);

                 strText += objCurrent.TextValue;

         }

         strText += objSel.End.TextValue.substring(0,objSel.EndTextPosition);

         return objSel.Start.TextValue.substr(objSel.StartTextPosition) + strText;

 }
