how to maintain text selection after timer ticks????s

[MxDev]

Hi guys,

I'm writing a simple text editor with syntax highlighting feature, my code depend on a timer object to update the whole text every 1 sec., I found it's difficult to select all the text due to the regular updating of the text after timer ticks.

So, Is there any way around this.

Thanks

You can store the current selection and reapply it after you have processed the text:

private void timer2_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int start = txtHighlight.SelectionStart;
            int length = txtHighlight.SelectionLength;

            //process text

            txtHighlight.Select(start, length);
        }
