Description

Returns true if the cursor position is before the position of objCursor (another Cursor object) in the text.

See also IsEqual Method.

Syntax

dim bValue as Boolean = object.IsBefore (objCursor)

object

Required. Object name, returned by Text.GetCursor(...).

objCursor

Required. Another object name, returned by Text.GetCursor(...).

Example

The below example returns TRUE because the virtual cursor of the objFrom object is moved for two characters on the right, before the objFrom was created by duplicating from the objFrom object (since it was duplicated on the same position where objFrom was).

Dim objFrom = Text.GetCursor(modeSame,cposCursor,True)

objFrom.Move (2)

Dim objTo = objFrom.Duplicate

msgbox (Text.GetCursor(modeSame,cposCursor,True).IsBefore (objTo))
