SelectionChangedEvent Class

An event that occurs when selection is changed in the document.

Declaration

export class SelectionChangedEvent extends RichEditEvent<EventArgs>

Remarks

You can define the SelectionChanged event handler either at the server side, at the client side, or at runtime.

.NET Core Server Settings

Use the OnSelectionChanged(String) method to specify the event handler.

@(Html.DevExpress().RichEdit("richEdit")
 .OnSelectionChanged("function(s,e) {console.log('The current position is ' + s.selection.active);}")
 // ...

Client Settings

Use the selectionChanged property to specify the event handler.

const options = DevExpress.RichEdit.createOptions();
options.events.selectionChanged = function(s,e) {
  console.log('The current position is ' + s.selection.active);
};

Runtime Settings

The selectionChanged property provides access to the addHandler(handler), removeHandler(handler), and clearHandlers methods that allow you to dynamically add and remove event handlers.

richEdit.events.selectionChanged.addHandler(function(s, e) {
  console.log('The current position is ' + s.selection.active);
});

The event handler receives an argument of the EventArgs type.
