Syntax:

MarkText(StartPos, NoOfChars)

Parameters:

StartPos – A numeric value indicating the position within the string to start marking. StartPos=1 means the first character of the string.

NoOfChars – A number indicating the number of characters to be marked. If this value is negative, Magic xpa marks in the backward direction. For Edit Multi-line and Rich Edit controls, the new line character is counted as two characters.

Returns:

The number of characters marked. This function returns zero when:

• No control is in focus.

• The control in focus is not the Edit control.

• This function is evaluated in the flow when the Magic xpa engine is not parked on an Edit control.

• The handler is invoked for an event with the Force Exit set to Control or Record.

• The start position is not in the string.
