Simulating "delete Next Word" of MS Word
Implementing Ctrl+Delete word deletion in TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms uses the KeyDown event to intercept the keystroke. The handler calls the Find method to locate the next space, selects the text range from the cursor to that position, and removes it programmatically.
MS Word offers a shortcut (CTRL + DEL) to delete the complete next word. This is quite simple to implement using TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms. We utilize the KeyDown event of TX Text Control to trap the specific keystrokes. Then we use the Find method to search for the next space character. If this space character exists, the text is selected and deleted.
private void textControl1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Control == true && e.KeyCode == System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Delete)
{
int startPos = textControl1.Selection.Start;
int endPos = textControl1.Find(" ", startPos, TXTextControl.FindOptions.NoMessageBox);
if(endPos != -1)
{
textControl1.Select(startPos, endPos - startPos);
textControl1.Selection.Text = "";
}
else
e.Handled = true;
}
