How to access text associated with individual lines in the selected text area of WinForms SyntaxEditor (EditControl)?

Selected text

You could get the text associated with each line in the selected text region of the EditControl using the code below.

C#

string cleanedSQL = "";
if (this.editControl1.SelectedText != "")
{
    // Get the start and end points of the selection
    CoordinatePoint start = this.editControl1.Selection.Top;
    CoordinatePoint end = this.editControl1.Selection.Bottom;
    string lineText = "";
    for (int i=start.VirtualLine; i<=end.VirtualLine; i++)
    {
       // Get the line object
       ILexemLine lexemLine = this.editControl1.GetLine(i);
       // Get the tokens in each line object and append them to get the line text
       foreach (ILexem lexem in lexemLine.LineLexems)
       {
           lineText += lexem.Text;
       }
       // Store each of these line text
       cleanedSQL += lineText + "\n";
       lineText="";
    }
}

 

VB

Dim cleanedSQL As String = ""
If Me.editControl1.SelectedText <> "" Then
   ' Get the start and end points of the selection
   Dim start As CoordinatePoint = Me.editControl1.Selection.Top
   Dim end As CoordinatePoint = Me.editControl1.Selection.Bottom
   Dim lineText As String = ""
   Dim i As Integer
   For i = start.VirtualLine To i<- 1 Step =end.VirtualLine
       ' Get the line object
       Dim lexemLine As ILexemLine = Me.editControl1.GetLine(i)
       ' Get the tokens in each line object and append them to get the line text
       Dim lexem As ILexem
       For Each lexem In lexemLine.LineLexems
           lineText += lexem.Text
       Next
       ' Store each of these line text
       cleanedSQL += lineText + "\n"
       lineText=""
   Next
End If
