[V8i VBA] Need to find a way to parse text from a text element

Hi Jeff,

I have to admit I don't know why to post the same questing repeatedly.

method that would allow me to parse text from a selected text element

It's hard to answer if you don't provide information how and using what code the text is selected. So assuming you are working with Selection Set using standard approach, so you are in an element enumerator. In such case this code should be enough:

Dim textEl As TextElement
Set textEl = ee.Current.AsTextElement
Dim myText As String
myText = textEl.Text

I know that this is a tall order

It seems to me not clear from your question if you ask for help / advice like "see VBA help, method GetSelectedElement" or you want somebody will write a code for you.

I am currently looking into the GetCustomProperty method

No, it's a wrong way.

I have a question: Do you have Learning MicroStation VBA book? It provides a huge number of code examples and useful advices, which make using MicroStation VBA easier.
