Remarks

Call this function to obtain the currently selected text as a text string. Multiple selected text rows are returned as a single text string delimited with line break characters (i.e., #13#10 in Delphi or \n in C++Builder).

The AsText function returns an empty string if one of the following conditions is met:

• The document selection is empty;
