C# RichTextBox Select specified Text
I have a RichTextBox with -by example- this text:
"This is my Text"
Now I want to "search" the RichTextBox for a Text (String), by example:
"Text"
Now "Text" should be selected/highlighted (for each one) in the RichTextBox..
There is something like:
myRichTextBox.Select();
but here I have to set a StartPosition and so on, but I want to search for String!
开发者_如何学CHow could I do this? (Searched stackoverflow, didn't find something similiar..)
int start = 0;
int indexOfSearchText = 0;
private void btnFind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int startindex = 0;
if(txtSearch.Text.Length > 0)
startindex = FindMyText(txtSearch.Text.Trim(), start, rtb.Text.Length);
// If string was found in the RichTextBox, highlight it
if (startindex >= 0)
{
// Set the highlight color as red
rtb.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
// Find the end index. End Index = number of characters in textbox
int endindex = txtSearch.Text.Length;
// Highlight the search string
rtb.Select(startindex, endindex);
// mark the start position after the position of
// last search string
start = startindex + endindex;
}
}
public int FindMyText(string txtToSearch, int searchStart, int searchEnd)
{
// Unselect the previously searched string
if (searchStart > 0 && searchEnd > 0 && indexOfSearchText >= 0)
{
rtb.Undo();
}
// Set the return value to -1 by default.
int retVal = -1;
// A valid starting index should be specified.
// if indexOfSearchText = -1, the end of search
if (searchStart >= 0 && indexOfSearchText >=0)
{
// A valid ending index
if (searchEnd > searchStart || searchEnd == -1)
{
// Find the position of search string in RichTextBox
indexOfSearchText = rtb.Find(txtToSearch, searchStart, searchEnd, RichTextBoxFinds.None);
// Determine whether the text was found in richTextBox1.
if (indexOfSearchText != -1)
{
// Return the index to the specified search text.
retVal = indexOfSearchText;
}
}
}
return retVal;
}
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
start = 0;
indexOfSearchText = 0;
}

You can only have one selection in a text box. What you want is to highlight the found text.
You could achieve it like this:
- Find the positions of the text you want to highlight using repeated calls to
myRichTextBox.Text.IndexOf
with the last found index + 1 as the start position. - Highlight the found texts using the default RichTextBox capabilities.
You can use the Find method to find the startindex of your searched text:
int indexToText = myRichTextBox.Find(searchText);
You can then use this index and the Select method to select the text:
int endIndex = searchText.Length;
myRichTextBox.Select(indexToText , endIndex);
private void Txt_Search_Box_TT_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
FOFO:
int start =
RtfAll_Messages.Find(Txt_Search_Box_TT.Text, RtfAll_Messages.SelectionStart + 1,
RichTextBoxFinds.None);
if (start >= 0)
RtfAll_Messages.Select(start, Txt_Search_Box_TT.Text.Length);
else
{
start = 0;
RtfAll_Messages.SelectionStart = 0;
RtfAll_Messages.SelectionLength = 0;
}
}
}
