RadSyntaxEditorElement offers the following method: public CaretPosition GetPositionFromPoint(System.Drawing.Point point)
However, it doesn't return the correct CaretPosition as it requires to transform the System.Drawing.Point first:
private void MySyntaxEditor1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
CaretPosition pos = mySyntaxEditor1.SyntaxEditorElement.GetPositionFromPoint(GetPosition(e, mySyntaxEditor1.SyntaxEditorElement.EditorPresenter));
CaretPosition start = new CaretPosition(pos);
start.MoveToCurrentWordStart();
CaretPosition end = new CaretPosition(pos);
end.MoveToCurrentWordEnd();
mySyntaxEditor1.SyntaxEditorElement.Selection.Select(start, end);
}
public Telerik.WinControls.SyntaxEditor.UI.Point GetPosition(System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs args, Telerik.WinControls.SyntaxEditor.UI.UIElement element)
{
System.Drawing.Point screenLocation = mySyntaxEditor1.SyntaxEditorElement.PointToScreen(args.Location);
System.Drawing.Point point = element.PointFromScreen(screenLocation);
Telerik.WinControls.Layouts.RadMatrix matrix = element.TotalTransform;
matrix.Invert();
return new System.Drawing.PointF(point.X * matrix.ScaleX, point.Y * matrix.ScaleY);
}
RadSyntaxEditor allows the end-users to select a part of the text and drag the selection to a new position.
Currently, there is no public API that allows you to control whether the drag operation should start, on what target line you are dragging over (and whether you can drop on it) and when you drop the selection.
