TextEditor Marked Content

[djrikki]

Hi,

I want to be able to create a 'Make Uppercase' function on any marked text the user may select.. however I have no idea how to obtain the content of the marked text?

'hello' becomes 'HELLO'

Code: Select all

Local ucase = UpperStr( ??? )
mui.DoMethod("textarea","replace",ucase)

Use Texteditor.GetSelection for that.

This only returns the X and Y coordinates of the selected block. I could use Copy to clipboard, but of course that overrides what is in the clipboard which is pretty lame.

True, seems like I forgot to implement a method for getting partial text contents. I've now implemented the Texteditor.GetText method that allows you to do just that, i.e. pass x1,y1,x2,y2 to it and get the text described by these coordinates back.
