Invoke this method to simulate an action the user can perform.

        ' focus. Set HideSelection to false for that.
        Me.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.HideSelection = False

        ' PerformAction can be used to perform keyboard actions. This would be useful
        ' for example if you had toolbar buttons for performing certain operations that
        ' are also supported by the built-in key actions.
