Find the cursor/carat posisition in the text box

Hey all,.

I'm new to flex and I am trying to write a function that will give me the index of the position of the cursor in a TextArea, I see that TextField is a getCaratPosition() or something similar. did someone knows how I could find out how to implement that in a box of text... or is there really no difference between a textArea and TextField component and I should just use a field?

Thanks in advance!

I think that the simplest here would continue to use the text box, then get the caretIndex of the textfield in the OT:

var idx:int = TextField (ta.getChildAt (2)) .caretIndex; TA is the id of your TextArea

Also make sure you import flash.text.TextField.

  • Find the text box has disappeared

    The strangest thing happened, the box "search text" (you know, which appears when you press Ctrl + F) simply disappeared, I press Ctrl + F and search, but the box is not there, so it is difficult to move forward, and I can not go back at all. Please help - it is really essential.

    Thank you!

    It is possible that the screen is too high and the scroll bar and the search bar and the bar of the add-on to fall down.

  • Add a picture to the text in the text box to the location of the cursor through Actionscript and control its reference level

    If I want to add pictures to the location of the cursor in the text box, I need to use EditManager insertInlineGraphic. But insertInlineGraphic offers no parameter to control how an image is placed in the text, such as baselineShift.
    While InlineGraphicElement allows me to well control on image added how is placed in the text through properties such as baselineShift, but then there is no way to add this InlineGraphicElement object newly created as the location of the cursor in the text box!
    So, how do you overcome this limitation? How can I add an image to the text in the text box to the location of the cursor through Actionscript and control its reference level?

    Post edited by: DilipShah

    After you add the ILG, you can find the ILG element by textFlow.findLeaf (cursor location) as InlineGraphicElement and then change its attributes. Or you can just enjoy applyLeafFormat().

    FindLeaf is an important function for navigation in the TLF.

  • Automatically put the cursor in the text box to start

    Hi guys

    On the picture below you can see a small piece of my FP. It is a part of a bigger FP for a pretty huge electronics test. Each PCB got its own series number of barcode. I have a drive that is connected to my keyboard. Then when I read the code bar, numbers will appear in the text box on my FP, IF i first click on the text box. Then the user must only press START to do the test. My problem, or wish, if you like, is that when the program starts, or a test has completed, the cursor/marker is placed in the text box, so I just have to read bar codes.

    Currently, the user must click in the text box before you read the code bar. Is it possible that this can be done by Labview?

    PS I would have found the answer in the forum, but I am from Norway, and not all of the language of the computer is easy to translate since I use windows Norwegians. I belive that it is called cursor or marker however.

    Hello

    The property node "KeyFocus" attached here brings the cursor automatically in the text box.  Set the "Val (Sgnl)" blank to trigger the event associated with this area of text (if necessary).

    I hope this helps.

  • Cursor (cursor) appears in the text box after inserting text or the position of change

    I managed to change the position of the cursor in a TextArea as qml and C++ to help through the Publisher associated with the drop-down list.

    I checked the change to receive cursor, change of position and position again.

    However, the cursor does not appear or is not visible in the TextArea component. When I tap on the screen the cursor is displayed again.

    The cursor disappears when I insert text at the cursor position.

    No idea why or how to control the visibility of the cursor in this situation.

    Hello

    in what format save you your file? If it's a jpg file, then the text is compressed and unfortunately PS is telling things as they are. Even if you could change the text before you save, after having been saved in jpg format, the text is merged and is no longer editable.

    A good solution is to save the files as PSD files, photoshop files. In this case, all layers are saved uncompressed and so your text will appear in its own layer in photoshop. All you need to do in this case to change it is the result of a three-step procedure

    (1) select the right layer

    (2) take the text tool in the tools bar

    (3) mark and change your text

    So the crucial question is: in what format you save your file?

  • LabVIEW 8: slider continues in the text box

    Hello

    I did a basic program of instant messaging with a text box that sends a message via a COM port. When I press on enter a 'Send' button is pressed and the string is sent, and then clear the text box. But to type another message, the user must click again to bring up a slider to type the message in the text box. I'd like the cursor to stay in the text box so that the user does not need to click on the text box to type something else. I would also like to do at the beginning of the program as well.

    Any suggestions?

  • My font too small in the text box, all screens, all is several small

    I find it difficult to read the text in the text box in Web page IE and firefox as well as any other window I open in my computer. I couldn't find the solution for this problem on the internet, including using microsoft and forums. Please don't suggest me IE uncheck options - move - visual blah blah or press on CTR and scrolling up, none of them are working. I think the problem in windows vista, but I can't find what caused it.

    Hello
    In Vista...

    Try a different screen resolution. Right-click on the desktop > personalize > display settings > resolution. A lower resolution will make everything bigger. Not every resolution will be usable - some likely to distort images or text. Make the tests until you find the resolution that works for you.

    Hope this helps,

  • Select text in the text box based on user input?

    I need to select (highlight) text that is present in the users choice i.e SystemPrompt from TextArea is shown where the user enters the desired text and if this text is currently present in the text box, put it highlighted, otherwise display additional information. Something like the search feature in the standard Notepad application.

    I can't find what I'm looking for in a TextEditor.

    Text of the text box is available by using the text property.

    If you can access the text typed by the user and then the index can be easily calculated. Something like this (untested):

    QString textAreaText = textArea->text();
    QString userInput = ...;
    
    int startIndex = textAreaText.indexOf(userInput, 0, Qt::CaseInsensitive);
    int endIndex = startIndex + userInput.length();
    
  • Why my links do not work in the text box next to the e-mail in Outlook?

    I created an email template in Eloqua, which is a two-column layout. The text box on the left has links that work very well. The text box on the right has links that do not work. This only occurs in Outlook. If I find the email in an another e-mail client, all right. What could be wrong causing the links is not working?

    If another person has ever run into this and found a solution, please let me know. I'm pulling my hair out!

    I called support this morning and all I had to do was move the text box on the right side to the top of a few pixels and now everything works fine. I guess when the two tables are the same height, Outlook rides them and cannot process the links properly. I like it when it's an easy solution!
