TextBox SelectionStart Property

[itg-assistant]

Cris asked 2016-10-18 03:04:50 UTC

Hi,

SelectionStart property of the TextBox is always zero (0) even after assigning a value. Attached image shows that after executing line 99 and get the value in Immediate Window, the value is zero at line 100.

Thanks

Yes, thanks. Confirmed bug and fixed in the next update.

As a workaround, set the SelectionLength to 0 or higher before setting the SelectionStart.

Hi Luca,

This bug also seems to apply in ComboBox when I was using a KeyUp event. If you don't mind, maybe you can also check it.

Thanks.

Yes, it's the same. Same fix and workaround.

One more thing, if you want to update the client with the selected range, make sure that the textbox or combo has the focus. Wisej will not send back the selection range unless the control is focused. The reason is that the browsers change the focus when the selection range is applied.

Tried that in TextBox but not in ComboBox yet. Test it later.

Thanks.

Hi Frank,

Confirmed working in TextBox. Inform you later about combobox. And I have a quick question for you and don't want to create another thread for this.

Is AutoCompleteMode for ComboBox done? Just wondering. It seems not working.

Thanks.

Thanks Cris.

AutoCompleteMode for Combobox should be working. Can you please send us details or a sample to verify ?

Best regards
