VB6 had a span method, how do you do this in vb.net

[Guest]

In vb6 you could find text then span to include all text to a given point.


Public Sub Findd(RTF As RichTextBox, Find As String)

RTF.Find (Find)
textfind = RTF.Find(Find)
If textfind <> -1 Then
foundtxt = True
RTF.Span "@", True, True
RTF.SetFocus
Exit Sub
Else
foundtxt = False
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub


How do you do this or somthing like it in VB.net?

You have to get the ITextDocument of the richtextbox and call the
Selection.Expand(tomWord) method ,see the msdn docs for ItextDocument
interface.
