With HighLight, user can select and highlight specific edit value (whether a character, a phrase or a word), edit the value, and spin it.
Default behavior of highlight is replacing selected value with new typed value.
There are 3 types of highlight :
- character - default, highlight a character.
- phrase - highlight a collection of character terminated by a specific literal(literal: A value used exactly as you see it. For example, the number 25 and the string "Hello" are both literals. You can use literals in expressions, and you can assign literals to constants or variables.) character (used by Masking feature).
- word - highlight a collection of character terminated by a space or another white-space character, such as a tab.
The AutoTabWhenFilled property indicates if the highlight selection will be moved to the next text object (a character, a phrase or a word) as soon as current text object is filled.
The IsSelected property indicates that the cursor will highlight current text object if the property is enabled. This property is useful when you want to set focus on a control and highlight a text object inside.
