string Text { get; set; }
Property Text As String
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| String |
A string value that specifies the text of the document.
|
The text is displayed using default formatting (or the text formatting specified via the RichEditAppearance.Text property).
Assigning a value to this property results in a new loaded document that is imported from the plain text format. So, all appropriate events are fired in this case. If you want to just clear the text of an existing document, use the SubDocument.Delete method with a SubDocument.Range as a parameter. This technique will not reset document properties. To wipe off the trace of this operation so it can not be undone, use the RichEditControl.ClearUndo method, as follows:
richEdit.Document.Delete(richEdit.Document.Range);
richEdit.ClearUndo();
richEdit.Document.Delete(richEdit.Document.Range)
richEdit.ClearUndo()
