[flexcoders] Caret positioning problem

2005-08-10 Thread Mika Kiljunen 










Hi,

Im trying to set the caret to the end of the
textfield. I have a keyUp event handler that adds the dot . automatically
for the text entered. The problem is that when the dot is added by actionscript
the caret stays behind the added dot while typing, so the dot gets misplaced
and the typing comes out wrong. How can I position the caret AFTER the
autoinserted dot? Ive tried to fool around with the Selection class
functions but none of it seems to help.



Here is an example of the handler Id like to use:



function onKeyUp( event )

 {

 if( MyTextField.text.length == 2 )

 { 

 MyTextField.text = MyTextField.text
+ .;

 // HOW TO POSITION THE CARET HERE SO
THAT IT COMES OUT LIKE THIS ON TEXTFIELD: myenteredtext.CARET_BLINKING_HERE???

 }

 }



-Mika

Re: [flexcoders] Caret positioning problem

2005-08-10 Thread Niklas Richardson 
Yeah, I just found that if you split the two commands into separate
functions, and associate them with the click event on two bottons. 
Then pressing the first button (to add the dot) and then pressing the
second button (to select the end of the string), then it works.

Nice find on the redraw().  What made you think of that?

If you set the first number in setSelection() then it will just give
you a single caret rather than selection the whole text.  Like Allen
suggested earlier.  This is the code I used to get it working (using
your redraw() trick Philippe).  You don't need to use the FocusManager
then either (okay, so you only save one line).

myText.text = myText.text + '.';
myText.redraw();
Selection.setFocus(myText);
Selection.setSelection(myText.text.length, myText.text.length);

Cheers

Niklas

RE: [flexcoders] Caret positioning problem

2005-08-10 Thread Mika Kiljunen 










Thanks a lot man, finally it works!

I thought Id try that also but didnt
get to that one yet. I was just about to send a fictive KEY.DOWN event cause it
sends the carret to the end of the text (at least it should) But this is
far better. 



Thank you Philippe! 



Give respect for Philippe folks, cause hes
the man. J

Thanks, but it wont help. If I type
in 23 my handler adds a dot to it and the text becomes
23. 

Your code sets the 23
selected and caret is there (not after the added dot as it should be), the
thing is that it should show 23. and caret after that, and no selection.

Hi,

I'm trying to set the caret to the end of the textfield. I
have a keyUp event handler that adds the dot . automatically for
the text entered. The problem is that when the dot is added by actionscript the
caret stays behind the added dot while typing, so the dot gets misplaced and
the typing comes out wrong. How can I position the caret AFTER the autoinserted
dot? I've tried to fool around with the Selection class functions but none of
it seems to help..



Here is an example of the handler I'd like to use:



function onKeyUp( event )


{


if( MyTextField.text.length == 2 )


{



MyTextField.text = MyTextField.text + .;


// HOW TO POSITION THE CARET HERE SO THAT IT COMES OUT LIKE THIS ON TEXTFIELD:
myenteredtext.CARET_BLINKING_HERE???


}


}

RE: [flexcoders] Caret positioning problem

2005-08-10 Thread Philippe Maegerman 
Well I thought it was a question of timing so I tried doLater() and 
setInterval(), and it wasn't working.  
When tracing the text length in the second function called by doLater, it was 
showing the right value, gr!! 
Then I tried with static text 23. in the field and setSelection(0,3) and that 
was working, so I guessed it was just the component not redrawing fast enough, 
then I tried redraw(), and voil
redraw() has saved me a few times already in datagrid and others, sometimes 
invalidate() do the job too.

Yeah, I just found that if you split the two commands into separate functions, 
and associate them with the click event on two bottons. 
Then pressing the first button (to add the dot) and then pressing the second 
button (to select the end of the string), then it works.

Nice find on the redraw().  What made you think of that?

If you set the first number in setSelection() then it will just give you a 
single caret rather than selection the whole text.  Like Allen suggested 
earlier.  This is the code I used to get it working (using your redraw() trick 
Philippe).  You don't need to use the FocusManager then either (okay, so you 
only save one line).

myText.text = myText.text + '.';
myText.redraw();
Selection.setFocus(myText);
Selection.setSelection(myText.text.length, myText.text.length);

Cheers

Niklas

Mika,

I've just seen some wacky behaviour with using that function on the
keyUp.  If you type too quickly it skips adding the period.  Also, if
you try to delete (backspace) after typing, you get into a loop or it
recreating the period.  However, if you hit backspace really quickly
you can get past it! :)

Something to watch out for!

Cheers

Niklas
