	NSTextView aTextView,
	NSArray oldSelectedCharRanges,
	NSArray newSelectedCharRanges
)

Public Function TextViewWillChangeSelectionFromCharacterRangesToCharacterRangesMessage ( _
	aTextView As NSTextView, _
	oldSelectedCharRanges As NSArray, _
	newSelectedCharRanges As NSArray _
) As NSArray

public:
NSArray^ TextViewWillChangeSelectionFromCharacterRangesToCharacterRangesMessage(
	NSTextView^ aTextView, 
	NSArray^ oldSelectedCharRanges, 
	NSArray^ newSelectedCharRanges
)

Parameters

aTextView (NSTextView): The text view sending the message. This is the first text view in a series shared by a layout manager, not necessarily the text view displaying the selected text.

oldSelectedCharRanges (NSArray): An array containing the original ranges of the selection. This must be a non-nil, non-empty array of objects responding to the NSValue rangeValue method, and in addition its elements must be sorted, non-overlapping, non-contiguous, and (except for the case of a single range) have non-zero-length.

newSelectedCharRanges (NSArray): An array containing the proposed character ranges for the new selection. This must be a non-nil, non-empty array of objects responding to the NSValue rangeValue method, and in addition its elements must be sorted, non-overlapping, non-contiguous, and (except for the case of a single range) have non-zero-length.

Return Value

An array containing the actual character ranges for the new selection.
