RichTextBox AutoWordSelection-Does this Work???

[Guest]

Does the RichTextBox.AutoWordSelection work??

Run the program below to duplicate the problem and it seems to have no effect

The default behaviour seems to select a word + THE SPACE AFTER IT??? Does this make sense

Adding a FindReplace dialog to this is a PITA as when you pick up the AutoSelectedWord it is not really a word but

a word +<SPACE

Now you don't know if this was the operators intention or not so you can't just strip off the space. Which causes a couple of problems

1) This forces the Operator to enter the new word as newWord+<SPACE
2) if the word is at the end of a line, it does not have a space after it so having the operator do 1)
is still a problem.

If you use this as an argument in the RichTextBox.Find() and use the

RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWor

then this does not match what the AutoWordSelection Picked up as the Selected Text in the first place..

Should not the AutoWordSelection=true and the RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWord work together as a default...

This means that the operator has to manually select a word in order for you to be able to properly determine if they
really want a word + SPACE for the find. So what is the point of doing an autowordselection at all??

I must be missing something here or the logic of this completely fails me
Can anyone explain the logic of this to me.
