    Question RichTextBox methods: Span & UpTo ?

    Does the RTB in .NET have methods equivalent to the VB6 RTB's .Span & .UpTo methods?

    I'm trying to convert various VB6 routines to VB.NET and I managed to figure out some of the name changes, e.g. SelLength => SelectionLength,
    but I can't find anything that looks like Span or UpTo.

    Thanks, DaveBo

    Re: RichTextBox methods: Span & UpTo ?

    A quick Google produced this statement regarding the Span method,
    "You have to get the ITextDocument of the richtextbox and call the
    Selection.Expand(tomWord) method ,see the msdn docs for ItextDocument
    interface."
    But, I don't have my Gobledygook to English dictionary handy, so when I Googled "ItextDocument" I just got more confused and frustrated.

    I feel like I'm being asked to perform brain surgery where a simple aspirin should be sufficient.

    Isn't there a magic .NET incantation that replaces ".Span"?
    e.g. Microsoft.Windows.YouAskedForItYouIdiot.CantGetThereFromHere.napS.SomeSwahiliWordForCowDung...

    Have Fun, DaveBo
