# getLassoText

> Get lasso-selected TextBox elements.

<Note>
  You must create a lasso selection before calling this API; otherwise the call fails.

  Recommended to call this API from the plugin UI entered via a lasso toolbar button.
</Note>

```ts theme={null}
static getLassoText(): Promise<APIResponse<TextBox[]>>;
```

**Returns**

* [`APIResponse<TextBox[]>`](/en/api-reference/supernote-plugin/types/api-response):
  `result` is the [`TextBox`](/en/api-reference/supernote-plugin/types/text-box) array.

## Example

```ts wrap theme={null}
import { PluginNoteAPI } from 'sn-plugin-lib';

/**
 * Example: get lasso-selected TextBox elements.
 */
export async function exampleGetLassoText() {
 const res = await PluginNoteAPI.getLassoText();
 if (!res.success) {
 throw new Error(res.error?.message ?? 'getLassoText call failed');
 }
 return res.result;
}
```
