Solution 5

Visual Studio Express 2012, C#, WPF (not Form) richtextbox

C#

richTextbox1.Selection.Text = ""; // To clear selected text

C#

richTextbox1.Selection.Text = "Your Text"; // To clear and replace selected text.

This is my first reply. I'm starting to learn WPF in place of the standard Forms. RichTextBox can be a challenge.

Solution 1

use given code

richTextBox1.SelectedText = "";

or you can also use

richTextBox1.Text = richTextBox1.Text.Remove(richTextBox1.SelectionStart, richTextBox1.SelectionLength);
