To get the specific character when you click on it in a RichTextBox
control in a C# Metro (WinRT) application, you can use the SelectionChanged
event and the Selection
property of the RichTextBox
. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
- Add a
RichTextBox
control to your XAML layout:
xml<Grid>
<RichTextBox x:Name="richText" SelectionChanged="richText_SelectionChanged" />
</Grid>
- Handle the
SelectionChanged
event in the code-behind:
csharpprivate void richText_SelectionChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// Check if there is any selected text
if (richText.Selection.Length > 0)
{
// Get the selected text
string selectedText = richText.Selection.Text;
// Display the selected character in a message box
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(selectedText))
{
char selectedChar = selectedText[0];
// Display the selected character in a message box (you can change this part according to your needs)
// For example, update a label or perform any other action with the selected character.
MessageBox.Show("Selected character: " + selectedChar);
}
}
}
With this code, when you click on a character in the RichTextBox
, the SelectionChanged
event will be triggered. It checks if there is any selected text and retrieves the first character of the selected text, which is essentially the specific character you clicked on. Then, it displays the selected character in a message box. You can modify this code to update a label or perform any other action with the selected character according to your application's requirements.
