• Problem of text selection in the text field for entry in the emulator

  I'm having a problem of text selection in a text field when I run my application in the emulator Playbook. Let me see if I can expose the problem here:

  1. The field in question is a classic text, text with an integrated in police entry field. The domain is in a SWC and referenced in another FILE.
  2. The code is set up such that when a user clicks the field function is called to highlight all the text. The code is more or less as follows:

  thisField.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onFieldClick);
  
  private function onFieldClick(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
     var selectedField:TextField = event.target as TextField;
     selectedField.setSelection(0, selectedField.text.length);
  }
  

  The problem I'm having is that when I try clicking on the emulator, the text field in 'domain' is sometimes selected as expected, sometimes not. When the text is not selected as expected the cursor always appears in the field and the Playbook keyboard slides up by below. What is particularly problematic, that's what often happens, is that the whole scene moves upward on 10px when it is clicked on the ground. If I try to click on the same ground once again, another change to the top of 10px or so, etc..

  So why the text not properly selected and why the scene evolves upwards?

  I realize that more information may be required from me to correctly solve this problem, but if someone has all understand why this may be the case, I would be happy to learn from him.

  Thank you

  The question of the selection, I'll guess has to do with the fileld with focus, selection is not possible.  Try to set the focus outside of maybe the text field?

• Disable text selection

  Hello

  How can I prevent selection of text in a webworks app? I found an article by astanley [1], but don't really know how to implement this option to disable text selection.

  Thank you very much.

  [1]: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Web-and-WebWorks-Development/How-to-prevent-default-touch-and...

  The provided article shows how to disable behaviors of browser default using JavaScript, especially the preventDefault method available on each key event.

  You should be able to disable text selection, if you copy the following into your page JavaScript code.

  document.addEventListener("touchstart", function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);
  document.addEventListener("touchmove", function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);
  

  Note: This will also disable other behaviors that you might not for your application - or you can (for example the code snippet above will disable also pinch in the zoom and scroll.)

• Text selection has changed?

  I don't know if it's just me crazy, but...

  Imagine a container with the following 2 TextLines, vertical lines (|) are supposed to represent the limits of the container so please assume that these are aligned:

  | Line is longer.

  | Two line |

  In my code, I put the interactionManager to allow editing of the text.

  When I move my mouse over the text I get the text insertion cursor, I can click to drag select text, right-click to get the relevant context menu ("select all" etc.). When I move my mouse in the empty box to the right of the text "Line two", you get no text caret cursor, the limits of the TextLine simply do not extend in this area so that the context menu 'Edit' is not applied.

  This makes very clumsy text selection, now you need to find the 1-pixel wide point after the last character first select all of the previous text.

  Has something changed recently?

  Not that I know of.  It is not duplicated in our tests.

  TLF is based on transparent background of drawing in the Sprite.graphics.  You are clearing that?

  How to disable him drag the text selected for searching the Web?

  Hmm, I did not forward. This is a new tab page with nothing to do with what you were dragging?

  I wonder if this might be a feature of one of your extensions. You can see their and disable/remove those that are not essential or unrecognized, here:

  Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

  If you disable the extensions, usually a link will appear above at least one of them to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  If there is no difference, you could test mode without failure of Firefox - which is a standard diagnostic tool in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

  Help > restart with disabled modules

  In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

  Any difference?

• How to disable auto text selection?

  various applications (anything with a text box almost) automatic selection of text when you click on it.  My guess is that it's the browser or application that I've had terrible behavior that drives me to the top of the wall, always double-click to change what is there (as the address bar), which is what I always do.

  Hello

  ·         Applications which are are you referring to?

  Text select auto depends on application settings. WordPad for example has an option, 'Auto-selected words'. Disable this and I believe that you can select letters instead of being forced to choose words.

  I created a PlayBook application using WebWorks, HTML and CSS and the app offers a great HTML textarea. For some reason, the user cannot select text to copy or paste text in.

  Thanks for any advice.

  I was fussing around with preferences in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (Mac version) and off the selected text color when the text selection. I don't know what preference I changed and can't seem to find a second time to restore the color of text selection.

  Once again, please, note that I don't watch highlight tool 3rd from the left in the picture below.

  

  My guess is it is something under Edit - Preferences - accessibility, possibly the "high contrast colors" option, or 'always use the system selection color. "
