public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private TextSource textSource;
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var syntaxEdit1 = new SyntaxEdit(this.components);
        var syntaxEdit2 = new SyntaxEdit(this.components);
        textSource = new TextSource(this.components);
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt");
        syntaxEdit1.Source = this.textSource;
        syntaxEdit2.Source = this.textSource;
    }

    private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (textSource.ActiveEdit != null)
            textSource.ActiveEdit.Selection.SelectAll();
    }
}

Here is how to use a ActiveEdit in the Visual Basic code:

Imports Alternet.Editor
Imports Alternet.Editor.TextSource

Partial Public Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Private textSource As TextSource

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim syntaxEdit1 = New SyntaxEdit(Me.components)
        Dim syntaxEdit2 = New SyntaxEdit(Me.components)
        textSource = New TextSource(Me.components)
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt")
        syntaxEdit1.Source = Me.textSource
        syntaxEdit2.Source = Me.textSource
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        If textSource.ActiveEdit IsNot Nothing Then textSource.ActiveEdit.Selection.SelectAll()
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

One or more SyntaxEdit controls can edit the text stored in the TextSource object.

Use the ActiveEdit property to determine which of the SyntaxEdit controls associated with the source have an input focus.
