Definition

Moves the start position of the specified range or selection until one of the specified characters is found in the document.

public int MoveStartUntil (ref object Cset, ref object Count);
abstract member MoveStartUntil : obj * obj -> int
Public Function MoveStartUntil (ByRef Cset As Object, Optional ByRef Count As Object) As Integer

Parameters

Cset
Object

Required Object. One or more characters. This argument is case sensitive.

Count
Object

Optional Object. The maximum number of characters by which the specified range or selection is to be moved. Can be a number or either the wdForward or wdBackward constant. If Count is a positive number, the range or selection is moved forward in the document. If it's a negative number, the range or selection is moved backward. The default value is wdForward.

Returns

Remarks

If the movement is backward through the document, the range is expanded.

This method returns the number of characters by which the start position of the specified range or selection moved, as an Integer value. If Count is greater than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved plus 1. If Count is less than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved minus 1. If no Cset characters are found, the specified range or selection isn't changed and the method returns 0 (zero). If the start position is moved forward to a point beyond the end position, the range or selection is collapsed and both the start and end positions are moved together.
