Just an another problem about how to detect the Length of selected text in an Editfield.

Why not just use .selLength? (Though I see that you say it produces the same result, which is what it should -- it's just more efficient.)

and my code is (in the keyDown event)

l = len(me.selText) or l = me.seltext.Len
l = 2, and that is correct

But if i select text like this: T[his] is my text

l is 0 (zero) in both case, and it should be 3!

What key are you pressing to trigger KeyDown? Perhaps that's changing it. Have you tried displaying the .selLength in a StaticText from, say, a Timer? I've used this many times and never had it fail on me.

I cant assign me.SelText to an string

myString = me.seltext

l = len(myString)

l = 0 (zero), and the debugger show length 0 ASCII for myString


Well, that's consistent. I suspect that the selection really IS empty at the time your code is running.

Best,
