Change Selection in a RichTextBox Programmatically

This example shows how to programmatically change the current selection in a xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox. This selection is the same as if the user had selected the content by using the user interface.

Example

The following [!INCLUDETLA#tla_xaml] code describes a named xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox control with simple content.
